mm: kmemleak: treat vm_struct as alternative reference to vmalloc'ed objects 2017-07-06T23:24:34+00:00 Catalin Marinas catalin.marinas@arm.com 2017-07-06T22:40:22+00:00 94f4a1618b4c2b268f9e70bd1516932927782293 Kmemleak requires that vmalloc'ed objects have a minimum reference count of 2: one in the corresponding vm_struct object and the other owned by the vmalloc() caller. There are cases, however, where the original vmalloc() returned pointer is lost and, instead, a pointer to vm_struct is stored (see free_thread_stack()). Kmemleak currently reports such objects as leaks. This patch adds support for treating any surplus references to an object as additional references to a specified object. It introduces the kmemleak_vmalloc() API function which takes a vm_struct pointer and sets its surplus reference passing to the actual vmalloc() returned pointer. The __vmalloc_node_range() calling site has been modified accordingly.

mm: kmemleak: avoid using __va() on addresses that don't have a lowmem mapping 2016-10-11T22:06:33+00:00 Catalin Marinas catalin.marinas@arm.com 2016-10-11T20:55:11+00:00 9099daed9c6991a512c1f74b92ec49daf9408cda Some of the kmemleak_*() callbacks in memblock, bootmem, CMA convert a physical address to a virtual one using __va(). However, such physical addresses may sometimes be located in highmem and using __va() is incorrect, leading to inconsistent object tracking in kmemleak. The following functions have been added to the kmemleak API and they take a physical address as the object pointer. They only perform the corresponding action if the address has a lowmem mapping: kmemleak_alloc_phys kmemleak_free_part_phys kmemleak_not_leak_phys kmemleak_ignore_phys The affected calling places have been updated to use the new kmemleak API.
