[PATCH RFC 04/20] kasan: add return value for kasan_mempool_poison_object

From: andrey . konovalov
Date: Mon Nov 06 2023 - 15:10:45 EST


From: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@xxxxxxxxxx>

Add a return value for kasan_mempool_poison_object that lets the caller
know whether the allocation is affected by a double-free or an
invalid-free bug. The caller can use this return value to stop operating
on the object.

Also introduce a check_page_allocation helper function to improve the
code readability.
