The patch titled Subject: kasan: initialize tag to 0xff in __kasan_kmalloc has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was kasan-initialize-tag-to-0xff-in-__kasan_kmalloc.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------ From: Nathan Chancellor natechancellor@gmail.com Subject: kasan: initialize tag to 0xff in __kasan_kmalloc

When building with -Wuninitialized and CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS unset, Clang warns:

mm/kasan/common.c:484:40: warning: variable 'tag' is uninitialized when used here [-Wuninitialized] kasan_unpoison_shadow(set_tag(object, tag), size); ^~~

set_tag ignores tag in this configuration but clang doesn't realize it at this point in its pipeline, as it points to arch_kasan_set_tag as being the point where it is used, which will later be expanded to (void *)(object) without a use of tag. Initialize tag to 0xff, as it removes this warning and doesn't change the meaning of the code.
