Subject: [PATCH] mm, KMSAN: Add missing shadow memory initialization in special allocation paths
Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2026 16:36:19 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260330-fix-kmsan-v1-1-e9c672a4b9eb@gmail.com> (raw)

Some page allocation paths that call post_alloc_hook() but skip
kmsan_alloc_page(), leaving stale KMSAN shadow on allocated pages.
Fix this by explicitly calling kmsan_alloc_page() after they
successfully get new pages.

Reported-by: syzbot+2aee6839a252e612ce34@syzkaller.appspotmail.com
Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=2aee6839a252e612ce34
