The patch titled Subject: kmemleak: do not corrupt the object_list during clean-up has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was kmemleak-do-not-corrupt-the-object_list-during-clean-up.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@xxxxxxx> Subject: kmemleak: do not corrupt the object_list during clean-up In case of an error (e.g. memory pool too small), kmemleak disables itself and cleans up the already allocated metadata objects. However, if this happens early before the RCU callback mechanism is available, put_object() skips call_rcu() and frees the object directly. This is not safe with the RCU list traversal in __kmemleak_do_cleanup(). Change the list traversal in __kmemleak_do_cleanup() to list_for_each_entry_safe() and remove the rcu_read_{lock,unlock} since the kmemleak is already disabled at this point. In addition, avoid an unnecessary metadata object rb-tree look-up since it already has the struct kmemleak_object pointer.
