[PATCH v2] mm/memmap: Prevent double scanning of memmap by kmemleak

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

 



kmemleak explicitly scans the mem_map through the valid struct page objects.
However, memmap_alloc() was also adding this memory to the gray object list,
causing it to be scanned twice. Removes memmap_alloc() from the
scan list and adds a comment to clarify the behavior.
