Initializing memory and setting/checking the canary bytes is relatively expensive, and doing so in the meta->lock critical sections extends the duration with preemption and interrupts disabled unnecessarily. Any reads to meta->addr and meta->size in kfence_guarded_alloc() and kfence_guarded_free() don't require locking meta->lock as long as the object is removed from the freelist: only kfence_guarded_alloc() sets meta->addr and meta->size after removing it from the freelist, which requires a preceding kfence_guarded_free() returning it to the list or the initial state. Therefore move reads to meta->addr and meta->size, including expensive memory initialization using them, out of meta->lock critical sections. Signed-off-by: Marco Elver <elver@google.com>
