Subject: mm: kmemleak: fix upper boundary check for physical address objects
Date: Mon, 27 Jan 2025 18:42:33 +0000
Memblock allocations are registered by kmemleak separately, based on their
physical address. During the scanning stage, it checks whether an object
is within the min_low_pfn and max_low_pfn boundaries and ignores it
otherwise.
With the recent addition of __percpu pointer leak detection (commit
6c99d4eb7c5e ("kmemleak: enable tracking for percpu pointers")), kmemleak
started reporting leaks in setup_zone_pageset() and
setup_per_cpu_pageset(). These were caused by the node_data[0] object
(initialised in alloc_node_data()) ending on the PFN_PHYS(max_low_pfn)
boundary. The non-strict upper boundary check introduced by commit
84c326299191 ("mm: kmemleak: check physical address when scan") causes the
pg_data_t object to be ignored (not scanned) and the __percpu pointers it
contains to be reported as leaks.
Make the max_low_pfn upper boundary check strict when deciding whether to
ignore a physical address object and not scan it.
