The quilt patch titled
Subject: kasan: better identify bug types for tag-based modes
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
kasan-better-identify-bug-types-for-tag-based-modes.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

------------------------------------------------------
From: Andrey Konovalov <[email protected]>
Subject: kasan: better identify bug types for tag-based modes
Date: Mon, 5 Sep 2022 23:05:48 +0200

Identify the bug type for the tag-based modes based on the stack trace entries found in the stack ring.

If a free entry is found first (meaning that it was added last), mark the bug as use-after-free. If an alloc entry is found first, mark the bug as slab-out-of-bounds. Otherwise, assign the common bug type.

This change returns the functionalify of the previously dropped CONFIG_KASAN_TAGS_IDENTIFY.
