| |
From: Vincenzo Frascino <vincenzo.frascino@arm.com>
free_reserved_area() memsets the pages belonging to a given memory area. As that memory hasn't been allocated via page_alloc, the KASAN tags that those pages have are 0x00. As the result the memset might result in a tag mismatch.
Untag the address to avoid spurious faults.
