> After looking into this issue, I find the buggy address belongs

> I look into the code of __get_wchan in x86 architecture and
> find the same issue has been resolved by the commit
> f7d27c35ddff ("x86/mm, kasan: Silence KASAN warnings in get_wchan()").
> The solution could be applied to powerpc architecture too.

> As Andrey Ryabinin said, get_wchan() is racy by design, it may
> access volatile stack of running task, thus it may access
> redzone in a stack frame and cause KASAN to warn about this.

> Use READ_ONCE_NOCHECK() to silence these warnings.
