From 93dd04ab0b2b32ae6e70284afc764c577156658e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman Date: Fri, 18 Feb 2022 14:13:58 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] slab: remove __alloc_size attribute from __kmalloc_track_caller Commit c37495d6254c ("slab: add __alloc_size attributes for better bounds checking") added __alloc_size attributes to a bunch of kmalloc function prototypes. Unfortunately the change to __kmalloc_track_caller seems to cause clang to generate broken code and the first time this is called when booting, the box will crash. While the compiler problems are being reworked and attempted to be solved [1], let's just drop the attribute to solve the issue now. Once it is resolved it can be added back.
