Subject: [PATCH 0/2] mm/kasan: fix vmalloc shadow memory population issues

Hi All,

While working on the lazy MMU mode enablement for s390 I hit pretty
curious issues in the kasan code.

The first is related to a custom kasan-based sanitizer aimed at catching
invalid accesses to PTEs and is inspired by [1] conversation. The kasan
complains on valid PTE accesses, while the shadow memory is reported as
unpoisoned:
