Subject: Re: kmemleak: Cannot allocate a kmemleak_object structure - Kernel 4.19.13

One more thought that may be nothing, but when kmemleak crashed,
SUnreclaim was at 932552 kB, and after reclaimed/cleared 299840 kB.
There weren't any performance issues like when I had a leak of 5.5 gB
in the 4.18 kernel.
