The patch titled
Subject: kfence: make compatible with kmemleak
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
kfence-make-compatible-with-kmemleak.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Marco Elver <elver@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: kfence: make compatible with kmemleak
Because memblock allocations are registered with kmemleak, the KFENCE pool
was seen by kmemleak as one large object. Later allocations through
kfence_alloc() that were registered with kmemleak via
slab_post_alloc_hook() would then overlap and trigger a warning.
Therefore, once the pool is initialized, we can remove (free) it from
kmemleak again, since it should be treated as allocator-internal and be
seen as "free memory".
The second problem is that kmemleak is passed the rounded size, and not
the originally requested size, which is also the size of KFENCE objects.
To avoid kmemleak scanning past the end of an object and trigger a KFENCE
out-of-bounds error, fix the size if it is a KFENCE object.
For simplicity, to avoid a call to kfence_ksize() in
slab_post_alloc_hook() (and avoid new IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK)
guard), just call kfence_ksize() in mm/kmemleak.c:create_object().
