From: Qian Cai <cai@xxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 0d02113b31b2017dd349ec9df2314e798a90fa6e ] The first kmemleak_scan() call after boot would trigger the crash below because this callpath: kernel_init free_initmem mem_encrypt_free_decrypted_mem free_init_pages unmaps memory inside the .bss when DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y. kmemleak_init() will register the .data/.bss sections and then kmemleak_scan() will scan those addresses and dereference them looking for pointer references. If free_init_pages() frees and unmaps pages in those sections, kmemleak_scan() will crash if referencing one of those addresses: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffffbd402000 CPU: 12 PID: 325 Comm: kmemleak Not tainted 5.1.0-rc4+ #4 RIP: 0010:scan_block Call Trace: scan_gray_list kmemleak_scan kmemleak_scan_thread kthread ret_from_fork Since kmemleak_free_part() is tolerant to unknown objects (not tracked by kmemleak), it is fine to call it from free_init_pages() even if not all address ranges passed to this function are known to kmemleak.
