L1 tables are allocated with __get_dma_pages, and therefore already ignored by kmemleak. Without this, the kernel would print this error message on boot, when the first L1 table is allocated: [ 2.810533] kmemleak: Trying to color unknown object at 0xffffffd652388000 as Black [ 2.818190] CPU: 5 PID: 39 Comm: kworker/5:0 Tainted: G S 4.19.16 #8 [ 2.831227] Workqueue: events deferred_probe_work_func [ 2.836353] Call trace: ...

Fixes: e5fc9753b1a8314 ("iommu/io-pgtable: Add ARMv7 short descriptor support") Signed-off-by: Nicolas Boichat <drinkcat@xxxxxxxxxxxx> --- I only tested this on top of my other series (https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10720495/), but I think the same fix applies. I'm still a bit confused as to why this only shows up now, as IIUC, the kmemleak_ignore call was always wrong with L1 tables. drivers/iommu/io-pgtable-arm-v7s.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/iommu/io-pgtable-arm-v7s.c b/drivers/iommu/io-pgtable-arm-v7s.c index cec29bf45c9bd7..98a4a4a0dfb0c1 100644 --- a/drivers/iommu/io-pgtable-arm-v7s.c +++ b/drivers/iommu/io-pgtable-arm-v7s.c @@ -217,7 +217,8 @@ static void *__arm_v7s_alloc_table(int lvl, gfp_t gfp, if (dma != phys) goto out_unmap; } - kmemleak_ignore(table); + if (lvl == 2) + kmemleak_ignore(table); return table; out_unmap: -- 2.20.1.495.gaa96b0ce6b-goog
