+ * kasan_mempool_poison_object - Check and poison a mempool slab allocation.
+ * @ptr: Pointer to the slab allocation.
+ *
+ * This function is intended for kernel subsystems that cache slab allocations
+ * to reuse them instead of freeing them back to the slab allocator (e.g.
+ * mempool).
+ *
+ * This function poisons a slab allocation without initializing its memory and
+ * without putting it into the quarantine (for the Generic mode).
+ *
+ * This function also performs checks to detect double-free and invalid-free
+ * bugs and reports them.
+ *
+ * This function operates on all slab allocations including large kmalloc
+ * allocations (the ones returned by kmalloc_large() or by kmalloc() with the
+ * size > KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE).
