First of all, that's a HWPoison page and it should note be touched, so the min_count should be -1 otherwise kmemleak will try to read it for references to other objects. Now, if all you need is a list of the bad pages, I don't think that's kmemleak's job. Maybe add them to a list and expose it somewhere else via debugfs. -- Catalin
