Yeah.  I misread the code.

KASan doesn't work like that.  It works at runtime and doesn't care
about the logic.

https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=426fc8b1c1b63fb0af524d839dfcf452f2d858e2

At the bottom of the report it shows that we're in a field of f9
poisoned data so it's not priv->len which is wrong.  (My patch was way
off).

mm/kasan/kasan.h:#define KASAN_VMALLOC_INVALID   0xF9  /* unallocated space in vmapped page */

The logic looks okay to me too.  So possibly this was a race condition
or even memory corruption in an unrelated part of the kernel.

dan carpenter
