[PATCH 0/4] dma: debug: track DMA buffer ownership with KASAN

There is litte we can do in software if a DMA master decides to corrupt
memory that is owned by the CPU. What we could do, however, is to ensure
that code doesn't access memory while not owned by the CPU.

This is done by recording ownership information into the KASAN shadow memory.
That way accessing a device mapped buffer before sync'ing it to the CPU is
detected like KASAN would detect a use-after-free. Below is the output
after adding a (void)readl(packet) into the network device send routing just
after mapping it to the device:

  BUG: KASAN: dma-mapped-to-device in eqos_send+0xdc/0x1a8
