+ +Software tag-based KASAN currently only supports tagging of slab memory.I think the reader may confuse "slab memory" here with "memory returned by SLAB" (as opposed to SLUB). Maybe "heap memory" is less ambiguous?
I think heap memory isn't widely used in the kernel context. But I'll clarify this part in v10, thanks! _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
