It is because kmemleak rbtree stores tagged object and this freeing object's tag does not match with rbtree object. In the example below, kmemleak rbtree stores the tagged object in the kmalloc(), and kfree() gets the pointer with 0xFF tag. Call sequence: ptr = kmalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL); page = virt_to_page(ptr); kfree(page_address(page)); ptr = kmalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL); Call sequence like that may cause the warning as following: 1) Freeing unknown object: In kfree(), we will get free unknown object warning in kmemleak_free(). Because object(0xFx) in kmemleak rbtree and pointer(0xFF) in kfree() have different tag. 2) Overlap existing: When we allocate that object with the same hw-tag again, we will find the overlap in the kmemleak rbtree and kmemleak thread will be killed.
