The lkdtm_STACKLEAK_ERASING() test scans for a contiguous block of poison values between the low stack bound and the stack pointer, and fails if it does not find a sufficiently large block. This can happen legitimately if the scan the low stack bound, which could occur if functions called prior to lkdtm_STACKLEAK_ERASING() used a large amount of stack. If this were to occur, it means that the erased portion of the stack is smaller than the size used by the scan, but does not cause a functional problem In practice this is unlikely to happen, but as this is legitimate and would not result in a functional problem, the test should not fail in this case. Remove the spurious failure case.

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.
