Every io_uring request is represented by struct io_kiocb, which is
cached locally by io_uring (not SLAB/SLUB) in the list called
submit_state.freelist. This patch simply enabled KASAN for this free
list.
This list is initially created by KMEM_CACHE, but later, managed by
io_uring. This patch basically poisons the objects that are not used
(i.e., they are the free list), and unpoisons it when the object is
allocated/removed from the list.
Touching these poisoned objects while in the freelist will cause a KASAN
warning.
