From: Alexey Kardashevskiy <aik@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit f0993c839e95dd6c7f054a1015e693c87e33e4fb ] xive_native_provision_pages() allocates memory and passes the pointer to OPAL so kmemleak cannot find the pointer usage in the kernel memory and produces a false positive report (below) (even if the kernel did scan OPAL memory, it is unable to deal with __pa() addresses anyway). This silences the warning. unreferenced object 0xc000200350c40000 (size 65536): comm "qemu-system-ppc", pid 2725, jiffies 4294946414 (age 70776.530s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 02 00 00 00 50 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ....P........... 01 00 08 07 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ backtrace: [<0000000081ff046c>] xive_native_alloc_vp_block+0x120/0x250 [<00000000d555d524>] kvmppc_xive_compute_vp_id+0x248/0x350 [kvm] [<00000000d69b9c9f>] kvmppc_xive_connect_vcpu+0xc0/0x520 [kvm] [<000000006acbc81c>] kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl+0x308/0x580 [kvm] [<0000000089c69580>] kvm_vcpu_ioctl+0x19c/0xae0 [kvm] [<00000000902ae91e>] ksys_ioctl+0x184/0x1b0 [<00000000f3e68bd7>] sys_ioctl+0x48/0xb0 [<0000000001b2c127>] system_call_exception+0x124/0x1f0 [<00000000d2b2ee40>] system_call_common+0xe8/0x214 Signed-off-by: Alexey Kardashevskiy <aik@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200612043303.84894-1-aik@xxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx> --- arch/powerpc/sysdev/xive/native.c | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/arch/powerpc/sysdev/xive/native.c b/arch/powerpc/sysdev/xive/native.c index 5218fdc4b29a9..82860c7b58353 100644 --- a/arch/powerpc/sysdev/xive/native.c +++ b/arch/powerpc/sysdev/xive/native.c @@ -18,6 +18,7 @@ #include <linux/delay.h> #include <linux/cpumask.h> #include <linux/mm.h> +#include <linux/kmemleak.h> #include <asm/machdep.h> #include <asm/prom.h> @@ -647,6 +648,7 @@ static bool xive_native_provision_pages(void) pr_err("Failed to allocate provisioning page\n"); return false; } + kmemleak_ignore(p); opal_xive_donate_page(chip, __pa(p)); } return true; -- 2.25.1
