[PATCH v2] kasan: add test for SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU quarantine skipping

From: Jann Horn
Date: Tue Jul 29 2025 - 12:50:07 EST


Verify that KASAN does not quarantine objects in SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU slabs
if CONFIG_SLUB_RCU_DEBUG is off.

Signed-off-by: Jann Horn <jannh@xxxxxxxxxx>

changes in v2:
- disable migration to ensure that all SLUB operations use the same
percpu state (vbabka)
- use EXPECT instead of ASSERT for pointer equality check so that
expectation failure doesn't terminate the test with migration still
disabled
