Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.14 019/123] mm/slab.c: kmemleak no scan alien caches
From: Qian Cai <cai@....pw>
[ Upstream commit 92d1d07daad65c300c7d0b68bbef8867e9895d54 ]
Kmemleak throws endless warnings during boot due to in
__alloc_alien_cache(),
alc = kmalloc_node(memsize, gfp, node);
init_arraycache(&alc->ac, entries, batch);
kmemleak_no_scan(ac);
Kmemleak does not track the array cache (alc->ac) but the alien cache
(alc) instead, so let it track the latter by lifting kmemleak_no_scan()
out of init_arraycache().
There is another place that calls init_arraycache(), but
alloc_kmem_cache_cpus() uses the percpu allocation where will never be
considered as a leak.
