Subject: Re: [PATCH] mm: kmemleak: take a full lowmem check in
 kmemleak_*_phys()

In arm64, some false leaks happen since memblock allocates memory 
eariler than that the pfn boundary (max_low_pfn/min_low_pfn) is
initialized. I would relax the checking condidtion when the boundary
is not ready. 

Please refer to the patch: https://lkml.org/lkml/2022/5/26/971
   
Not sure this work for the other archs like RISCV and for your
situation. Please help to review it.
