Subject: [PATCH v1 2/2] kho: fix KASAN support for restored vmalloc regions
Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2026 17:38:57 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260225223857.1714801-3-pasha.tatashin@soleen.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260225223857.1714801-1-pasha.tatashin@soleen.com>

Restored vmalloc regions are currently not properly marked for KASAN,
causing KASAN to treat accesses to these regions as out-of-bounds.

Fix this by properly unpoisoning the restored vmalloc area using
kasan_unpoison_vmalloc(). This requires setting the VM_UNINITIALIZED
flag during the initial area allocation and clearing it after the pages
have been mapped and unpoisoned, using the clear_vm_uninitialized_flag()
helper.
