[PATCH V2 09/10] kasan: Prevent deadlock in kasan reporting

From: Aneesh Kumar K.V
Date: Wed Aug 26 2015 - 04:27:39 EST


We we end up calling kasan_report in real mode, our shadow mapping
for even spinlock variable will show poisoned. This will result
in us calling kasan_report_error with lock_report spin lock held.
To prevent this disable kasan reporting when we are priting
error w.r.t kasan.
