[Devel] [PATCH rh7 05/39] mm/mempool: avoid KASAN marking mempool poison checks as use-after-free

From: Matthew Dawson <matthew at mjdsystems.ca>

When removing an element from the mempool, mark it as unpoisoned in KASAN
before verifying its contents for SLUB/SLAB debugging.  Otherwise KASAN
will flag the reads checking the element use-after-free writes as
use-after-free reads.
