[PATCH] kasan, slub: fix HW_TAGS zeroing with slub_debug

From: andrey . konovalov
Date: Wed Jul 05 2023 - 08:44:15 EST


From: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@xxxxxxxxxx>

Commit 946fa0dbf2d8 ("mm/slub: extend redzone check to extra allocated
kmalloc space than requested") added precise kmalloc redzone poisoning
to the slub_debug functionality.

However, this commit didn't account for HW_TAGS KASAN fully initializing
the object via its built-in memory initialization feature. Even though
HW_TAGS KASAN memory initialization contains special memory initialization
handling for when slub_debug is enabled, it does not account for in-object
slub_debug redzones. As a result, HW_TAGS KASAN can overwrite these
redzones and cause false-positive slub_debug reports.

To fix the issue, avoid HW_TAGS KASAN memory initialization when slub_debug
is enabled altogether. Implement this by moving the __slub_debug_enabled
check to slab_post_alloc_hook. Common slab code seems like a more
appropriate place for a slub_debug check anyway.
