[PATCH v2 8/8] kasan: test: avoid corrupting memory in kasan_rcu_uaf

From: andrey . konovalov
Date: Thu Aug 12 2021 - 11:05:51 EST


From: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@xxxxxxxxx>

kasan_rcu_uaf() writes to freed memory via kasan_rcu_reclaim(), which is
only safe with the GENERIC mode (as it uses quarantine). For other modes,
this test corrupts kernel memory, which might result in a crash.

Turn the write into a read.
