Provide the necessary KCSAN checks to assist with debugging racy use-after-frees. While KASAN is more reliable at generally catching such use-after-frees (due to its use of a quarantine), it can be difficult to debug racy use-after-frees. If a reliable reproducer exists, KCSAN can assist in debugging such issues. Note: ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_ACCESS is a convenience wrapper if the size is simply sizeof(var). Instead, here we just use __kcsan_check_access() explicitly to pass the correct size.

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.
