Yes, it make sense:


kmemleak: Allow partial freeing of memory blocks

From: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@....com>

Functions like free_bootmem() are allowed to free only part of a memory
block. This patch adds support for this via the kmemleak_free_part()
callback which removes the original object and creates one or two
additional objects as a result of the memory block split.
