Subject[PATCH 4/4] lkdtm/heap: Avoid __alloc_size hint warning for VMALLOC_LINEAR_OVERFLOW
Date
Once __alloc_size hints have been added, the compiler will (correctly!)
see this as an overflow. We are, however, trying to test for this
condition at run-time (not compile-time), so work around it with a
volatile int offset.
