[PATCH v2 1/5] mm/kasan: Don't store metadata inside kmalloc object when slub_debug_orig_size is on

From: Feng Tang
Date: Wed Sep 11 2024 - 02:46:07 EST


For a kmalloc object, when both kasan and slub redzone sanity check
are enabled, they could both manipulate its data space like storing
kasan free meta data and setting up kmalloc redzone, and may affect
accuracy of that object's 'orig_size'.

As an accurate 'orig_size' will be needed by some function like
krealloc() soon, save kasan's free meta data in slub's metadata area
instead of inside object when 'orig_size' is enabled.

This will make it easier to maintain/understand the code. Size wise,
when these two options are both enabled, the slub meta data space is
already huge, and this just slightly increase the overall size.
