Text is a string. We need to move this kasan_reset_tag()
to address but text.

This patch also makes sense (I think), thanks for sending. But it's
unclear what the problem is. The fact that when the address is printed
it still includes the tag? Or a false positive?
It'd be good to clarify in the commit message.

Here I'd also use a more descriptive patch title, something like
"kasan, slub: reset tag when printing address".

Also, I think this patch requires a:

  Fixes: aa1ef4d7b3f6 ("kasan, mm: reset tags when accessing metadata")

So that stable kernels can pick this up if appropriate.

Yes, printed address includes the tag, so when we access the
metadata, we will encounter tag mismatch with HW tag-based kasan
enabled.

Thank you, Marco.
I will refine commit message in the v2.
