[PATCH] kasan: update outdated comment

From: Kexin Sun

Date: Wed Mar 11 2026 - 09:42:54 EST


The function kmalloc_large() was renamed kmalloc_large_noprof() by
commit 7bd230a26648 ("mm/slab: enable slab allocation tagging for
kmalloc and friends"), and subsequently renamed __kmalloc_large_noprof()
by commit a0a44d9175b3 ("mm, slab: don't wrap internal functions with
alloc_hooks()"), making it an internal implementation detail.

Large kmalloc allocations are now performed through the public kmalloc()
interface directly. Update the comment to remove the stale reference to
kmalloc_large() accordingly.
