[Devel] [PATCH 25/39] mm: vmalloc: add flag preventing guard hole allocation

[Andrey Ryabinin]

From: Andrey Ryabinin <a.ryabinin at samsung.com>

commit 71394fe50146202f2c8d92cf50f5ebc761acf254 upstream.

For instrumenting global variables KASan will shadow memory backing memory
for modules.  So on module loading we will need to allocate memory for
shadow and map it at address in shadow that corresponds to the address
allocated in module_alloc().

__vmalloc_node_range() could be used for this purpose, except it puts a
guard hole after allocated area.  Guard hole in shadow memory should be a
problem because at some future point we might need to have a shadow memory
at address occupied by guard hole.  So we could fail to allocate shadow
for module_alloc().

Add a new vm_struct flag 'VM_NO_GUARD' indicating that vm area doesn't
have a guard hole.
