I still haven't fully isolated all the .c files which should not be kasan instrumented. That means in case of ppc64 i ended up calling kasan _load/_store in real mode. That will result in failure w.r.t to the above spin_lock code. -aneesh _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
