Hi Catalin,
My kvm-xfstests [1] VM doesn't boot with kmemleak enabled since commit
c5665868183f ("mm: kmemleak: use the memory pool for early allocations").
There is no console output when running:
$ kvm -boot order=c -net none -machine type=pc,accel=kvm:tcg -cpu host \
-drive file=$ROOTFS,if=virtio,snapshot=on -vga none -nographic \
-smp 2 -m 2048 -serial mon:stdio --kernel $KERNEL \
--append 'root=/dev/vda console=ttyS0,115200'
$ kvm --version

Attached defconfig saved by 'make savedefconfig'.
I tried increasing DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_MEM_POOL_SIZE, which did not help.
I also tried moving kmemleak_init() back to its old location, since this
changes seemed unrelated to the commit. Didn't help either.
Let me know if you have any suggestion how to debug this.
Thanks,
Amir.
