kmemleak: fix kmemleak false positive report with HW tag-based kasan enable
With HW tag-based kasan enable, We will get the warning when we free object whose address starts with 0xFF. It is because kmemleak rbtree stores tagged object and this freeing object's tag does not match with rbtree object. In the example below, kmemleak rbtree stores the tagged object in the kmalloc(), and kfree() gets the pointer with 0xFF tag. Call sequence: ptr = kmalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL); page = virt_to_page(ptr); offset = offset_in_page(ptr); kfree(page_address(page) + offset); ptr = kmalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL); A sequence like that may cause the warning as following: 1) Freeing unknown object: In kfree(), we will get free unknown object warning in kmemleak_free(). Because object(0xFx) in kmemleak rbtree and pointer(0xFF) in kfree() have different tag. 2) Overlap existing: When we allocate that object with the same hw-tag again, we will find the overlap in the kmemleak rbtree and kmemleak thread will be killed. kmemleak: Freeing unknown object at 0xffff000003f88000 CPU: 5 PID: 177 Comm: cat Not tainted 5.16.0-rc1-dirty #21 Hardware name: linux,dummy-virt (DT) Call trace: dump_backtrace+0x0/0x1ac show_stack+0x1c/0x30 dump_stack_lvl+0x68/0x84 dump_stack+0x1c/0x38 kmemleak_free+0x6c/0x70 slab_free_freelist_hook+0x104/0x200 kmem_cache_free+0xa8/0x3d4 test_version_show+0x270/0x3a0 module_attr_show+0x28/0x40 sysfs_kf_seq_show+0xb0/0x130 kernfs_seq_show+0x30/0x40 seq_read_iter+0x1bc/0x4b0 seq_read_iter+0x1bc/0x4b0 kernfs_fop_read_iter+0x144/0x1c0 generic_file_splice_read+0xd0/0x184 do_splice_to+0x90/0xe0 splice_direct_to_actor+0xb8/0x250 do_splice_direct+0x88/0xd4 do_sendfile+0x2b0/0x344 __arm64_sys_sendfile64+0x164/0x16c invoke_syscall+0x48/0x114 el0_svc_common.constprop.0+0x44/0xec do_el0_svc+0x74/0x90 el0_svc+0x20/0x80 el0t_64_sync_handler+0x1a8/0x1b0 el0t_64_sync+0x1ac/0x1b0 ... kmemleak: Cannot insert 0xf2ff000003f88000 into the object search tree (overlaps existing) CPU: 5 PID: 178 Comm: cat Not tainted 5.16.0-rc1-dirty #21 Hardware name: linux,dummy-virt (DT) Call trace: dump_backtrace+0x0/0x1ac show_stack+0x1c/0x30 dump_stack_lvl+0x68/0x84 dump_stack+0x1c/0x38 create_object.isra.0+0x2d8/0x2fc kmemleak_alloc+0x34/0x40 kmem_cache_alloc+0x23c/0x2f0 test_version_show+0x1fc/0x3a0 module_attr_show+0x28/0x40 sysfs_kf_seq_show+0xb0/0x130 kernfs_seq_show+0x30/0x40 seq_read_iter+0x1bc/0x4b0 kernfs_fop_read_iter+0x144/0x1c0 generic_file_splice_read+0xd0/0x184 do_splice_to+0x90/0xe0 splice_direct_to_actor+0xb8/0x250 do_splice_direct+0x88/0xd4 do_sendfile+0x2b0/0x344 __arm64_sys_sendfile64+0x164/0x16c invoke_syscall+0x48/0x114 el0_svc_common.constprop.0+0x44/0xec do_el0_svc+0x74/0x90 el0_svc+0x20/0x80 el0t_64_sync_handler+0x1a8/0x1b0 el0t_64_sync+0x1ac/0x1b0 kmemleak: Kernel memory leak detector disabled kmemleak: Object 0xf2ff000003f88000 (size 128): kmemleak: comm "cat", pid 177, jiffies 4294921177 kmemleak: min_count = 1 kmemleak: count = 0 kmemleak: flags = 0x1 kmemleak: checksum = 0 kmemleak: backtrace: kmem_cache_alloc+0x23c/0x2f0 test_version_show+0x1fc/0x3a0 module_attr_show+0x28/0x40 sysfs_kf_seq_show+0xb0/0x130 kernfs_seq_show+0x30/0x40 seq_read_iter+0x1bc/0x4b0 kernfs_fop_read_iter+0x144/0x1c0 generic_file_splice_read+0xd0/0x184 do_splice_to+0x90/0xe0 splice_direct_to_actor+0xb8/0x250 do_splice_direct+0x88/0xd4 do_sendfile+0x2b0/0x344 __arm64_sys_sendfile64+0x164/0x16c invoke_syscall+0x48/0x114 el0_svc_common.constprop.0+0x44/0xec do_el0_svc+0x74/0x90 kmemleak: Automatic memory scanning thread ended [akpm@linux-foundation.org: whitespace tweak] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20211118054426.4123-1-Kuan-Ying.Lee@mediatek.comSigned-off-by: Kuan-Ying Lee <Kuan-Ying.Lee@mediatek.com> Reviewed-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Cc: Doug Berger <opendmb@gmail.com> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
