Description Andrey Konovalov 2021-11-14 21:15:08 UTC

Per-CPU allocator (mm/percpu.c) is missing any kind of KASAN annotations. This likely means that KASAN can't detect overflows between per-CPU variables or __alloc_percpu() allocations. This needs to be investigated, and appropriate annotations need to be added.

Comment 1 Andrey Konovalov 2024-11-12 09:27:56 UTC

Once we have proper per-CPU annotations, we can restore the test removed in [1].
