From 5c335fe020ea287b2b49cc4dfca9f6756b88bb71 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dmitry Vyukov Date: Fri, 24 Jun 2016 14:50:07 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm: prevent KASAN false positives in kmemleak When kmemleak dumps contents of leaked objects it reads whole objects regardless of user-requested size. This upsets KASAN. Disable KASAN checks around object dump.
