Hello Mike,

commit a7259df767 ("memblock: make memblock_find_in_range method private") [1]
invokes a kernel panic while running kmemleak on OF platforms with nomaped
regions, basically it's similar to an issue reported and fixed earlier by [2]:

   Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffff000021e00000

Does this virtual address correspond to a nomap area?

Yes, it does:

  OF: reserved mem: allocated memory for 'rmtfs@86700000' node: base 0x00000000a1e00000, size 2 MiB

and 'rmtfs@86700000' device node has a 'no-map' property.

Also:

# echo dump=0xffff000021e00000 > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak

Can you check if this patch helps:

The change fixes the issue, thank you!

The object is also gone from being under kmemleak:

# echo dump=0xffff000021e00000 > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
kmemleak: Unknown object at 0xffff000021e00000

I believe it would be a trivial problem to correct for you, thank you in
