I'd print just phys here since that's the function argument.

Will do.

Do we still need to check for __va(phys) >= PAGE_OFFSET? Also I don't
think IS_ERR(__va(phys)) makes sense, we can't store an error in a
physical address. The kmemleak_alloc_phys() function is only called on
successful allocation, so shouldn't bother with error codes.

In this commit:
972fa3a7c17c(mm: kmemleak: alloc gray object for reserved
region with direct map)

The kmemleak_alloc_phys() function is called directly by passing
physical address from devicetree. So I'm concerned that could
__va() => __pa() convert always get the phys back? I thought
check for __va(phys) might help, but it probably dosen't work
and using IS_ERR is indeed inappropriate.

We might have to store phys in object and convert it via __va()
for normal use like:

#define object_pointer(obj)	\
	(obj->flags & OBJECT_PHYS ? (unsigned long)__va((void *)obj->pointer)	\
				: obj->pointer)

Maybe a bit more verbose:

Will do.

I'd skip the checks if the object is OBJECT_NO_SCAN (side-effect of
__paint_it()) so that the next scan won't have to go through the __pa()
checks again. It's also probably more correct to check the upper object
boundary). Something like:

		if ((object->flags & OBJECT_PHYS) &&
		    !(object->flags & OBJECT_NO_SCAN)) {
			unsigned long phys = __pa((void *)object->pointer);
			if (PHYS_PFN(phys) < min_low_pfn ||
			    PHYS_PFN(phys + object->size) >= max_low_pfn)
				__paint_it(object, KMEMLEAK_BLACK);
		}

Right, much more thorough. Will do.

Thanks,
Patrick
