From 71394fe50146202f2c8d92cf50f5ebc761acf254 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrey Ryabinin Date: Fri, 13 Feb 2015 14:40:03 -0800 Subject: mm: vmalloc: add flag preventing guard hole allocation 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.
