Yeoreum Yun 8377d7744b kasan: remove kasan_find_vm_area() to prevent possible deadlock
commit 6ee9b3d84775944fb8c8a447961cd01274ac671c upstream.

find_vm_area() couldn't be called in atomic_context.  If find_vm_area() is
called to reports vm area information, kasan can trigger deadlock like:

CPU0                                CPU1
vmalloc();
 alloc_vmap_area();
  spin_lock(&vn->busy.lock)
                                    spin_lock_bh(&some_lock);
   <interrupt occurs>
   <in softirq>
   spin_lock(&some_lock);
                                    <access invalid address>
                                    kasan_report();
                                     print_report();
                                      print_address_description();
                                       kasan_find_vm_area();
                                        find_vm_area();
                                         spin_lock(&vn->busy.lock) // deadlock!

To prevent possible deadlock while kasan reports, remove kasan_find_vm_area().

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.
