Subject[PATCH] kasan: fix per-page tags for non-page_alloc pages
From
To allow performing tag checks on page_alloc addresses obtained via
page_address(), tag-based KASAN modes store tags for page_alloc
allocations in page->flags.

Currently, the default tag value stored in page->flags is 0x00.
Therefore, page_address() returns a 0x00ffff... address for pages
that were not allocated via page_alloc.

This might cause problems. A particular case we encountered is a conflict
with KFENCE. If a KFENCE-allocated slab object is being freed via
kfree(page_address(page) + offset), the address passed to kfree() will
get tagged with 0x00 (as slab pages keep the default per-page tags).
This leads to is_kfence_address() check failing, and a KFENCE object
ending up in normal slab freelist, which causes memory corruptions.

This patch changes the way KASAN stores tag in page-flags: they are now
stored xor'ed with 0xff. This way, KASAN doesn't need to initialize
per-page flags for every created page, which might be slow.

With this change, page_address() returns natively-tagged (with 0xff)
pointers for pages that didn't have tags set explicitly.

This patch fixes the encountered conflict with KFENCE and prevents more
similar issues that can occur in the future.
