[PATCH 1/1] iscsi_ibft: KASAN false positive failure occurs in ibft_init()

From: George Kennedy
Date: Tue Jan 26 2021 - 13:18:33 EST


During boot of kernel with CONFIG_KASAN the following KASAN false
positive failure will occur when ibft_init() reads the
ACPI iBFT table: BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in ibft_init

The ACPI iBFT table is not allocated, and the iscsi driver uses
a pointer to it to calculate checksum, etc. KASAN complains
about this pointer with use-after-free, which this is not.
