[PATCH] kasan/test: only do kmalloc_double_kzfree for generic mode

From: Wang Wensheng

Date: Sun May 17 2026 - 03:18:50 EST


kmalloc_double_kzfree() would corrupt kernel memory when the just
freed memory were allocated by another thread before the second
call to kfree_sensitive().

This could not happen in GENERIC mode as it uses quarantine.
