kernel/memremap, kasan: make ZONE_DEVICE with work with KASAN
KASAN learns about hotadded memory via the memory hotplug notifier. devm_memremap_pages() intentionally skips calling memory hotplug notifiers. So KASAN doesn't know anything about new memory added by devm_memremap_pages(). This causes a crash when KASAN tries to access non-existent shadow memory: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffed0078000000 RIP: 0010:check_memory_region+0x82/0x1e0 Call Trace: memcpy+0x1f/0x50 pmem_do_bvec+0x163/0x720 pmem_make_request+0x305/0xac0 generic_make_request+0x54f/0xcf0 submit_bio+0x9c/0x370 submit_bh_wbc+0x4c7/0x700 block_read_full_page+0x5ef/0x870 do_read_cache_page+0x2b8/0xb30 read_dev_sector+0xbd/0x3f0 read_lba.isra.0+0x277/0x670 efi_partition+0x41a/0x18f0 check_partition+0x30d/0x5e9 rescan_partitions+0x18c/0x840 __blkdev_get+0x859/0x1060 blkdev_get+0x23f/0x810 __device_add_disk+0x9c8/0xde0 pmem_attach_disk+0x9a8/0xf50 nvdimm_bus_probe+0xf3/0x3c0 drive...
