SubjectRe: [PATCH 1/1] kasan: fix livelock in qlist_move_cache
Hi,
Please take a look at function quarantine_put, I don't think following
code will limit the batch size below quarantine_batch_size. It only advance
quarantine_tail after qlist_move_all.

qlist_move_all(q, &temp);

spin_lock(&quarantine_lock);
WRITE_ONCE(quarantine_size, quarantine_size + temp.bytes);
qlist_move_all(&temp, &global_quarantine[quarantine_tail]);
if (global_quarantine[quarantine_tail].bytes >=
READ_ONCE(quarantine_batch_size)) {
int new_tail;

new_tail = quarantine_tail + 1;
if (new_tail == QUARANTINE_BATCHES)
new_tail = 0;
if (new_tail != quarantine_head)
quarantine_tail = new_tail;
