[PATCH mm v5 14/39] kasan, page_alloc: rework kasan_unpoison_pages call site

From: <hidden>
Date: 2021-12-30 19:13:42
Also in: linux-arm-kernel, lkml
Subsystem: memory management, memory management - page allocator, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, Vlastimil Babka, Linus Torvalds

From: Andrey Konovalov <redacted>

Rework the checks around kasan_unpoison_pages() call in
post_alloc_hook().

The logical condition for calling this function is:

- If a software KASAN mode is enabled, we need to mark shadow memory.
- Otherwise, HW_TAGS KASAN is enabled, and it only makes sense to
  set tags if they haven't already been cleared by tag_clear_highpage(),
  which is indicated by init_tags.

This patch concludes the changes for post_alloc_hook().

Signed-off-by: Andrey Konovalov <redacted>

Changes v3->v4:
- Make the confition checks more explicit.
- Update patch description.
