From 8478d8dc5381464999ac17a93e639f869d9b514f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Potapenko Date: Wed, 30 Jun 2021 11:50:11 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] FROMLIST: kfence: move the size check to the beginning of __kfence_alloc() Check the allocation size before toggling kfence_allocation_gate. This way allocations that can't be served by KFENCE will not result in waiting for another CONFIG_KFENCE_SAMPLE_INTERVAL without allocating anything.
