[PATCH v3 2/2] kasan, slub: reset tag when printing address

From: Kuan-Ying Lee <hidden>
Date: 2021-08-04 09:10:27
Also in: linux-arm-kernel, linux-mm, lkml
Subsystem: memory management, slab allocator, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, Vlastimil Babka, Harry Yoo, Linus Torvalds

The address still includes the tags when it is printed.
With hardware tag-based kasan enabled, we will get a
false positive KASAN issue when we access metadata.

Reset the tag before we access the metadata.

Fixes: aa1ef4d7b3f6 ("kasan, mm: reset tags when accessing metadata")
