[PATCH] module: Refine kmemleak scanned areas

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

 



commit ac3b43283923 ("module: replace module_layout with module_memory")
introduced a set of memory regions for the module layout sharing the
same attributes but didn't update the kmemleak scanned areas which
intended to limit kmemleak scan to sections containing writable data.
This means sections such as .text and .rodata are scanned by kmemleak.

Refine the scanned areas for modules by limiting it to MOD_TEXT and
MOD_INIT_TEXT mod_mem regions.
