We were failing to call kasan_malloc() from __kmalloc_*track_caller() which was causing us to sometimes fail to produce KASAN error reports for allocations made using e.g. devm_kcalloc(), as the KASAN poison was not being initialized. Fix it.

The same problem is being fixed upstream in:
The "upstream" here is now only in -next, not mainline yet, so we still have more options at this point.
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220817101826.236819-6-42.hyeyoo@gmail.com/ as part of a larger patch series, but this more targeted fix seems more suitable for the stable kernel. Hyeonggon, maybe you can add this patch to the start of your series and it can be picked up by the stable maintainers.

Ah, I should have sent it to stable team ;)
I think "Option 3" in Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst will be appropriate, So will resend this after the series goes to Linus's tree.
I'll pick this for sending to Linus after rc6, which means the series in slab.git / -next will afterwards cause a trivial conflict to resolve when merging. AFAIK Linus prefers that over late rebasing. It will also make it simple for stable.
I think that is better option, thanks!
Thank you Peter!
