[PATCH] kfence: free instead of ignore pool from kmemleak

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Due to recent changes to kmemleak and how memblock allocated memory is
stored in the phys object tree of kmemleak, 07313a2b29ed ("mm: kfence:
apply kmemleak_ignore_phys on early allocated pool") tried to fix KFENCE
compatibility.

KFENCE's memory can't simply be ignored, but must be freed completely
due to it being handed out on slab allocations, and the slab post-alloc
hook attempting to insert the object to the kmemleak object tree.

Without this fix, reports like the below will appear during boot, and
kmemleak is effectively rendered useless when KFENCE is enabled:

Note: This easily reproduces on v5.19, but on 6.0-rc1 the issue is
hidden by yet more kmemleak changes, but properly freeing the pool is
the correct thing to do either way, given the post-alloc slab hooks.
