Available CAS primitives/compiler do not support CAS with bitfield. I propose
to change kasan_alloc_meta to:
struct kasan_alloc_meta {
struct kasan_track track;
u16 size_delta; /* object_size - alloc size */
u8 state; /* enum kasan_state */
u8 reserved1;
u32 reserved2;
}
This shrinks _used_ meta object by 1 byte wrt the original. (btw, patch v1 does
not increase overall alloc meta object size). "Alloc size", where needed, is
easily calculated as a delta from cache->object_size.
