mm/kasan: don't vfree() nonexistent vm_area
KASAN uses different routines to map shadow for hot added memory and memory obtained in boot process. Attempt to offline memory onlined by normal boot process leads to this: Trying to vfree() nonexistent vm area (000000005d3b34b9) WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 13215 at mm/vmalloc.c:1525 __vunmap+0x147/0x190 Call Trace: kasan_mem_notifier+0xad/0xb9 notifier_call_chain+0x166/0x260 __blocking_notifier_call_chain+0xdb/0x140 __offline_pages+0x96a/0xb10 memory_subsys_offline+0x76/0xc0 device_offline+0xb8/0x120 store_mem_state+0xfa/0x120 kernfs_fop_write+0x1d5/0x320 __vfs_write+0xd4/0x530 vfs_write+0x105/0x340 SyS_write+0xb0/0x140 Obviously we can't call vfree() to free memory that wasn't allocated via vmalloc(). Use find_vm_area() to see if we can call vfree(). Unfortunately it's a bit tricky to properly unmap and free shadow allocated during boot, so we'll have to keep it. If memory will come online again that shadow will be reused. Matthew asked: how can you call vfree() on something that isn't a vmalloc address? vfree() is able to free any address returned by __vmalloc_node_range(). And __vmalloc_node_range() gives you any address you ask. It doesn't have to be an address in [VMALLOC_START, VMALLOC_END] range. That's also how the module_alloc()/module_memfree() works on architectures that have designated area for modules.
