[PATCH 5.13 196/223] kfence: move the size check to the beginning of __kfence_alloc()
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Jul 26 2021 - 12:37:34 EST
From: Alexander Potapenko <glider@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 235a85cb32bb123854ad31de46fdbf04c1d57cda upstream.
Check the allocation size before toggling kfence_allocation_gate.
This way allocations that can't be served by KFENCE will not result in
waiting for another CONFIG_KFENCE_SAMPLE_INTERVAL without allocating
anything.
