Subject: mm, kasan: use compare-exchange operation to set KASAN page tag
From: Peter Collingbourne <pcc@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 27fe73394a1c6d0b07fa4d95f1bca116d1cc66e9 upstream.
It has been reported that the tag setting operation on newly-allocated
pages can cause the page flags to be corrupted when performed
concurrently with other flag updates as a result of the use of
non-atomic operations.
Fix the problem by using a compare-exchange loop to update the tag.
