Sometimes, when dm-crypt executes decryption in a tasklet, we may get
"BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in tasklet_action_common.constprop..."
with a kasan-enabled kernel.
When the decryption fully completes in the tasklet, dm-crypt will call
bio_endio(), which in turn will call clone_endio() from dm.c core code. That
function frees the resources associated with the bio, including per bio private
structures. For dm-crypt it will free the current struct dm_crypt_io, which
contains our tasklet object, causing use-after-free, when the tasklet is being
dequeued by the kernel.
To avoid this, do not call bio_endio() from the current tasklet context, but
delay its execution to the dm-crypt IO workqueue.

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.
