[PATCH 2/2] kasan: Fix a type conversion error

From: Wang Long
Date: Wed Sep 09 2015 - 00:00:27 EST


The current KASAN code can find the following out-of-bounds
bugs:
char *ptr;
ptr = kmalloc(8, GFP_KERNEL);
memset(ptr+7, 0, 2);

the cause of the problem is the type conversion error in
*memory_is_poisoned_n* function. So this patch fix that.
