The hardware tag-based KASAN for compatibility with the other modes stores the tag associated to a page in page->flags. Due to this the kernel faults on access when it allocates a page with an initial tag and the user changes the tags. Reset the tag associated by the kernel to a page in all the meaningful places to prevent kernel faults on access. Note: An alternative to this approach could be to modify page_to_virt(). This though could end up being racy, in fact if a CPU checks the PG_mte_tagged bit and decides that the page is not tagged but another CPU maps the same with PROT_MTE and becomes tagged the subsequent kernel access would fail.

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.
