Given large enough allocations and a machine with low enough memory (i.e a default QEMU VM), it's entirely possible that kmsan_init_alloc_meta_for_range's shadow+origin allocation fails. Instead of eating a NULL deref kernel oops, check explicitly for memblock_alloc() failure and panic with a nice error message. Alexander Potapenko said: For posterity, it is generally quite important for the allocated shadow and origin to be contiguous, otherwise an unaligned memory write may result in memory corruption (the corresponding unaligned shadow write will be assuming that shadow pages are adjacent). So instead of panicking we could have split the range into smaller ones until the allocation succeeds, but that would've led to hard-to-debug problems in the future.
