Hi all,
there seems to be a problem with the output of

backtrace:
[root@pc-mtodorov ~]#
Apparently, backtrace of called functions on the stack is no longer printed
with the list of memory leaks.
This appeared on Lenovo desktop 10TX000VCR, with AlmaLinux 8.7 and
BIOS version M22KT49A (11/10/2022) and 6.2-rc1 and 6.2-rc2 builds.
This worked on 6.1 with the same CONFIG_KMEMLEAK=y and MGLRU
enabled
on a vanilla mainstream kernel from Mr. Torvalds' tree. I don't know if this is
deliberate feature for some reason or a bug.
Please find attached the config, lshw and kmemleak output.
The bisection gave this commit as the culprit for the severed stack
backtrace print in /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak:

mm: use stack_depot for recording kmemleak's backtrace
Using stack_depot to record kmemleak's backtrace which has been
implemented on slub for reducing redundant information.

Hope this helps.
I lack the insight to pinpoint the exact fault in the patch.
P.S.
To further complicate things, on Ubuntu 22.10 Lenovo Ideapad 3 15ITL6 laptop
the kmemleak stack backtrace is printed correctly with the same kernels
(but .deb instead of .rpm for the same build):
