[PATCH mm v4 29/39] kasan, page_alloc: allow skipping memory init for HW_TAGS

andrey.konovalov
2021-12-20T22:02:25Z

Add a new GFP flag __GFP_SKIP_ZERO that allows to skip memory
initialization. The flag is only effective with HW_TAGS KASAN.

This flag will be used by vmalloc code for page_alloc allocations
backing vmalloc() mappings in a following patch. The reason to skip
memory initialization for these pages in page_alloc is because vmalloc
code will be initializing them instead.

With the current implementation, when __GFP_SKIP_ZERO is provided,
__GFP_ZEROTAGS is ignored. This doesn't matter, as these two flags are
never provided at the same time. However, if this is changed in the
future, this particular implementation detail can be changed as well.

---

Changes v3->v4:
- Only define __GFP_SKIP_ZERO when CONFIG_KASAN_HW_TAGS is enabled.
- Add __GFP_SKIP_ZERO to include/trace/events/mmflags.h.
- Use proper kasan_hw_tags_enabled() check instead of
IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KASAN_HW_TAGS). Also add explicit checks for
software modes.

Changes v2->v3:
- Update patch description.

Changes v1->v2:
- Add this patch.
