Detect frees of pointers into middle of mempool objects. I did a one-off test, but it turned out to be very tricky, so I reverted it. First, mempool does not call kasan_poison_kfree() unless allocation function fails. I stubbed an allocation function to fail on second and subsequent allocations. But then mempool stopped to call kasan_poison_kfree() at all, because it does it only when allocation function is mempool_kmalloc(). We could support this special failing test allocation function in mempool, but it also can't live with kasan tests, because these are in a module.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
