------------------------------------------------------ From: Kees Cook kees@kernel.org Subject: mm: vmalloc: support more granular vrealloc() sizing Date: Fri, 25 Apr 2025 17:11:07 -0700
Introduce struct vm_struct::requested_size so that the requested (re)allocation size is retained separately from the allocated area size. This means that KASAN will correctly poison the correct spans of requested bytes. This also means we can support growing the usable portion of an allocation that can already be supported by the existing area's existing allocation.
