[PATCH] megaraid: kmemleak: Track page allocation for fusion

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

 



From: Shu Wang <shuwang@xxxxxxxxxx>

Kmemleak reports about a thousand false positives for fusion->
cmd_list[]. Root casue is the cmd_list objects are allocated from
slab allocator, and stored its pointer in object allocated by page
allocator. The fix will tell kmemleak to track and scan fusion
object.

Before patch:
kmemleak: 1004 new suspected memory leaks (see /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak)

unreferenced object 0xffff88042584e000 (size 8192):
