The patch titled
     Subject: mm/kmsan: Fix kmsan kmalloc hook when no stack depots are allocated yet
has been added to the -mm mm-new branch.  Its filename is
     mm-kmsan-fix-kmsan-kmalloc-hook-when-no-stack-depots-are-allocated-yet.patch

This patch will shortly appear at

This patch will later appear in the mm-new branch at
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm/kmsan: Fix kmsan kmalloc hook when no stack depots are allocated yet
Date: Tue, 30 Sep 2025 13:56:01 +0200

If no stack depot is allocated yet, due to masking out __GFP_RECLAIM flags
kmsan called from kmalloc cannot allocate stack depot.  kmsan fails to
record origin and report issues.

Reusing flags from kmalloc without modifying them should be safe for kmsan.
For example, such chain of calls is possible:
test_uninit_kmalloc -> kmalloc -> __kmalloc_cache_noprof ->
slab_alloc_node -> slab_post_alloc_hook ->
kmsan_slab_alloc -> kmsan_internal_poison_memory.

Only when it is called in a context without flags present should
__GFP_RECLAIM flags be masked.

With this change all kmsan tests start working reliably.
