--- Comment #2 from Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov at google dot com> --- I've shutup that bug with dest = NULL, but then I immediately got this: BUG: KASAN: global-out-of-bounds in clear_bit include/linux/bitops_compiler.h:15 [inline] BUG: KASAN: global-out-of-bounds in dma_channel_table_init+0x81/0x18c drivers/dma/dmaengine.c:334 Write of size 8 at addr ffffffff84d5e921 by task swapper/0/1 which looks like another bug because clear_bit is defined as: static inline void clear_bit(long nr, volatile unsigned long *addr) { __atomic_fetch_and((char *)addr + (nr / 8), ~(1 << (nr % 8)), __ATOMIC_RELAXED); } Unless I am missing something, type of the first arg to __atomic_fetch_and s char* so this should be a 1 byte access. Extracting and minimizing this is quite time consuming, so maybe you will just spot something else in that code.
