[RFC/PATCH -next 20/21] fs: dcache: manually unpoison dname after allocation to shut up kasan's reports

From: Andrey Ryabinin
Date: Wed Jul 09 2014 - 07:11:00 EST


We need to manually unpoison rounded up allocation size for dname
to avoid kasan's reports in __d_lookup_rcu.
__d_lookup_rcu may validly read a little beyound allocated size.
