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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
