It will be within "slots" which is always aligned. unreferenced object 0xc000000fdadc1040 (size 104): comm "oom04", pid 140476, jiffies 4295359280 (age 3454.970s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ backtrace: [<00000000d1f0f5eb>] z3fold_zpool_malloc+0x7b0/0xe10 alloc_slots at mm/z3fold.c:214 (inlined by) init_z3fold_page at mm/z3fold.c:412 (inlined by) z3fold_alloc at mm/z3fold.c:1161 (inlined by) z3fold_zpool_malloc at mm/z3fold.c:1735 [<0000000064a2e969>] zpool_malloc+0x34/0x50 [<00000000af63e491>] zswap_frontswap_store+0x60c/0xda0 zswap_frontswap_store at mm/zswap.c:1093 [<00000000af5e07e0>] __frontswap_store+0x128/0x330 [<00000000de2f582b>] swap_writepage+0x58/0x110 [<000000000120885f>] pageout+0x16c/0xa40 [<00000000444c1f68>] shrink_page_list+0x1ac8/0x25c0 [<00000000d19e8610>] shrink_inactive_list+0x270/0x730 [<00000000e17df726>] shrink_lruvec+0x444/0xf30 [<000000005f02ab35>] shrink_node+0x2a4/0x9c0 [<00000000014cabbd>] do_try_to_free_pages+0x158/0x640 [<00000000dcfaba07>] try_to_free_pages+0x1bc/0x5f0 [<00000000fa207ab8>] __alloc_pages_slowpath.constprop.60+0x4dc/0x15a0 [<000000003669f1d2>] __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x520/0x650 [<0000000011fa4168>] alloc_pages_vma+0xc0/0x420 [<0000000098b376f2>] handle_mm_fault+0x1174/0x1bf0 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200522220052.2225-1-cai@xxxxxx Signed-off-by: Qian Cai <cai@xxxxxx> Cc: Vitaly Wool <vitaly.wool@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- mm/z3fold.c | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) --- a/mm/z3fold.c~mm-z3fold-silence-kmemleak-false-positives-of-slots +++ a/mm/z3fold.c @@ -43,6 +43,7 @@ #include <linux/spinlock.h> #include <linux/zpool.h> #include <linux/magic.h> +#include <linux/kmemleak.h> /* * NCHUNKS_ORDER determines the internal allocation granularity, effectively @@ -215,6 +216,8 @@ static inline struct z3fold_buddy_slots (gfp & ~(__GFP_HIGHMEM | __GFP_MOVABLE))); if (slots) { + /* It will be freed separately in free_handle(). */ + kmemleak_not_leak(slots); memset(slots->slot, 0, sizeof(slots->slot)); slots->pool = (unsigned long)pool; rwlock_init(&slots->lock); _ Patches currently in -mm which might be from cai@xxxxxx are mm-z3fold-silence-kmemleak-false-positives-of-slots.patch mm-slub-fix-stack-overruns-with-slub_stats.patch mm-swap_state-fix-a-data-race-in-swapin_nr_pages.patch mm-memmap_init-iterate-over-memblock-regions-rather-that-check-each-pfn-fix.patch mm-kmemleak-silence-kcsan-splats-in-checksum.patch mm-frontswap-mark-various-intentional-data-races.patch mm-page_io-mark-various-intentional-data-races.patch mm-page_io-mark-various-intentional-data-races-v2.patch mm-swap_state-mark-various-intentional-data-races.patch mm-swapfile-fix-and-annotate-various-data-races.patch mm-swapfile-fix-and-annotate-various-data-races-v2.patch mm-page_counter-fix-various-data-races-at-memsw.patch mm-memcontrol-fix-a-data-race-in-scan-count.patch mm-list_lru-fix-a-data-race-in-list_lru_count_one.patch mm-mempool-fix-a-data-race-in-mempool_free.patch mm-util-annotate-an-data-race-at-vm_committed_as.patch mm-rmap-annotate-a-data-race-at-tlb_flush_batched.patch mm-annotate-a-data-race-in-page_zonenum.patch mm-swap-annotate-data-races-for-lru_rotate_pvecs.patch
