From: Andrey Ryabinin <aryabinin@virtuozzo.com>

commit 0f901dcbc31f88ae41a2aaa365f7802b5d520a28 upstream.

KASAN uses different routines to map shadow for hot added memory and
memory obtained in boot process. Attempt to offline memory onlined by
normal boot process leads to this:

Trying to vfree() nonexistent vm area (000000005d3b34b9)
WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 13215 at mm/vmalloc.c:1525 __vunmap+0x147/0x190

SyS_write+0xb0/0x140

Obviously we can't call vfree() to free memory that wasn't allocated via
vmalloc(). Use find_vm_area() to see if we can call vfree().

Unfortunately it's a bit tricky to properly unmap and free shadow
allocated during boot, so we'll have to keep it. If memory will come
online again that shadow will be reused.

Matthew asked: how can you call vfree() on something that isn't a
vmalloc address?

vfree() is able to free any address returned by
__vmalloc_node_range(). And __vmalloc_node_range() gives you any
address you ask. It doesn't have to be an address in [VMALLOC_START,
VMALLOC_END] range.

That's also how the module_alloc()/module_memfree() works on
architectures that have designated area for modules.
