[PATCH 4/5] kasan, slub: move kasan_poison_slab hook before page_address

From: Andrey Konovalov
Date: Mon Feb 11 2019 - 17:00:15 EST


With tag based KASAN page_address() looks at the page flags to see
whether the resulting pointer needs to have a tag set. Since we don't
want to set a tag when page_address() is called on SLAB pages, we call
page_kasan_tag_reset() in kasan_poison_slab(). However in allocate_slab()
page_address() is called before kasan_poison_slab(). Fix it by changing
the order.
