I have get many kmemleak reports just similar to commit 70c54e210ee9 (scsi: megaraid_sas: fix memleak in megasas_alloc_cmdlist_fusion) on v4.14-rc6, however it seems have a different stroy: unreferenced object 0xffff8b5139d9d2c0 (size 192): comm "kworker/0:0", pid 3, jiffies 4294689182 (age 11347.731s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 00 33 84 7b 41 8b ff ff 00 33 84 7b 00 00 00 00 .3.{A....3.{.... 00 30 8c 7b 41 8b ff ff 00 30 8c 7b 00 00 00 00 .0.{A....0.{.... backtrace: [<ffffffff927461ea>] kmemleak_alloc+0x4a/0xa0 [<ffffffff92215eee>] kmem_cache_alloc_trace+0xce/0x1d0 [<ffffffffc03f96e4>] megasas_alloc_cmdlist_fusion+0xd4/0x180 [megaraid_sas] [<ffffffffc03f9df5>] megasas_alloc_cmds_fusion+0x25/0x410 [megaraid_sas] [<ffffffffc03fb05d>] megasas_init_adapter_fusion+0x21d/0x6e0 [megaraid_sas] [<ffffffffc03f70e8>] megasas_init_fw+0x338/0xd00 [megaraid_sas] [<ffffffffc03f806e>] megasas_probe_one.part.34+0x5be/0x1040 [megaraid_sas] [<ffffffffc03f8b36>] megasas_probe_one+0x46/0xc0 [megaraid_sas] [<ffffffff923c0ec5>] local_pci_probe+0x45/0xa0 [<ffffffff9209fcf4>] work_for_cpu_fn+0x14/0x20 [<ffffffff920a2e09>] process_one_work+0x149/0x360 [<ffffffff920a3578>] worker_thread+0x1d8/0x3c0 [<ffffffff920a8bb9>] kthread+0x109/0x140 [<ffffffff92751bc5>] ret_from_fork+0x25/0x30 [<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff Struct fusion_context may alloc by get_free_pages, which contain pointers to other slab allocations(via megasas_alloc_cmdlist_fusion). Since kmemleak does not track/scan page allocations, the slab objects will be reported as leaks(false positives). This patch adds kmemleak callbacks to allow tracking of such pages.
