    mm: vmalloc: add flag preventing guard hole allocation · 71394fe5
    Andrey Ryabinin 提交于
    For instrumenting global variables KASan will shadow memory backing memory
    for modules.  So on module loading we will need to allocate memory for
    shadow and map it at address in shadow that corresponds to the address
    allocated in module_alloc().
    
    __vmalloc_node_range() could be used for this purpose, except it puts a
    guard hole after allocated area.  Guard hole in shadow memory should be a
    problem because at some future point we might need to have a shadow memory
    at address occupied by guard hole.  So we could fail to allocate shadow
    for module_alloc().
    
    Add a new vm_struct flag 'VM_NO_GUARD' indicating that vm area doesn't
    have a guard hole.
