[RFC/PATCH v2 09/10] kmemleak: disable kasan instrumentation for kmemleak

From: Andrey Ryabinin
Date: Wed Sep 10 2014 - 10:38:48 EST


kmemleak scans all memory while searching for pointers to
objects. So function scan_block could access
kasan's shadow memory region while searching for pointer.

Also kmalloc internally round up allocation size, and kmemleak
uses rounded up size as size of object. This makes kasan
to complain while calculation of object's checksum. The
simplest solution here is to disable kasan.
