When both KASAN and slub_debug are enabled, when a free object is being prepared in setup_object, slub_debug poisons the object data before KASAN initializes its per-object metadata. Right now, in setup_object, KASAN only initializes the alloc metadata, which is always stored outside of the object. slub_debug is aware of this and it skips poisoning and checking that memory area. However, with the following patch in this series, KASAN also starts initializing its free medata in setup_object. As this metadata might be stored within the object, this initialization might overwrite the slub_debug poisoning. This leads to slub_debug reports. Thus, skip checking slub_debug poisoning of the object data area that overlaps with the in-object KASAN free metadata. Also make slub_debug poisoning of tail kmalloc redzones more precise when KASAN is enabled: slub_debug can still poison and check the tail kmalloc allocation area that comes after the KASAN free metadata.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
