Subject: [PATCH RFC 17/37] arm64: mte: Disable dynamic tag storage management if HW KASAN is enabled
Date:   Wed, 23 Aug 2023 14:13:30 +0100

Reserving the tag storage associated with a tagged page requires the
ability to migrate existing data if the tag storage is in use for data.

The kernel allocates pages, which are now tagged because of HW KASAN, in
non-preemptible contexts, which can make reserving the associate tag
storage impossible.

Don't expose the tag storage pages to the memory allocator if HW KASAN is
enabled.
