6.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Suren Baghdasaryan <surenb@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 60da7445a142bd15e67f3cda915497781c3f781f upstream. It was recently noticed that set_codetag_empty() might be used not only to mark NULL alloctag references as empty to avoid warnings but also to reset valid tags (in clear_page_tag_ref()). Since set_codetag_empty() is defined as NOOP for CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG=n, such use of set_codetag_empty() leads to subtle bugs. Fix set_codetag_empty() for CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG=n to reset the tag reference.
