This is not the case since v3, right? Do we still need this patch?

If it's still needed, see the comment below.

Thank you!

Please add a documentation comment for this new hook; something like
what we have for kasan_mempool_poison_pages() and some of the others.
(I've been meaning to add them for all of them, but still didn't get
around to that.)

I believe we don't need check_slab_free() here, as it was already done
in kasan_slab_pre_free()? Checking just kasan_arch_is_ready() and
is_kfence_address() should save a bit on performance impact.

Though if we remove check_slab_free() from here, we do need to add it
to __kasan_mempool_poison_object().

I vaguely recall there was some reason why this check was done before
the kasan_byte_accessible() check, but I might be wrong. Could you try
booting the kernel with only this patch applied to see if anything
breaks?
