Right now tag-based KASAN can retag the memory that is reallocated via krealloc and return a differently tagged pointer even if the same slab object gets used and no reallocated technically happens. There are a few issues with this approach. One is that krealloc callers can't rely on comparing the return value with the passed argument to check whether reallocation happened. Another is that if a caller knows that no reallocation happened, that it can access object memory through the old pointer, which leads to false positives. Look at nf_ct_ext_add() to see an example. Fix this by keeping the same tag if the memory don't actually gets reallocated during krealloc.

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.
