[PATCH] mm/mempool: Avoid KASAN marking mempool posion checks as use-after-free

Show all headers | View raw

When removing an element from the mempool, mark it as unpoisoned in KASAN
before verifying its contents for SLUB/SLAB debugging.  Otherwise KASAN
will flag the reads checking the element use-after-free writes as
use-after-free reads.
