Subject: [PATCH] mm/page_alloc: silence a KASAN false positive
Date:   Wed, 10 Jun 2020 01:21:54 -0400

kernel_init_free_pages() will use memset() on s390 to clear all pages
from kmalloc_order() which will override KASAN redzones because a
redzone was setup from the end of the allocation size to the end of the
last page. Silence it by not reporting it there. An example of the
report is,
