The address stored in elts->pages will be regarded as leaked. That is, the elts->pages[i] will have pointers loaded onto it as well, and without telling kmemleak about it, those pointers will look like memory without a reference. To fix this, call kmemleak_alloc to tell kmemleak to scan elts->pages[i] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20211124140801.87121-1-chenjun102@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Chen Jun Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) --- kernel/trace/tracing_map.c | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) (limited to 'kernel') diff --git a/kernel/trace/tracing_map.c b/kernel/trace/tracing_map.c index 39bb56d2dcbe..9628b5571846 100644 --- a/kernel/trace/tracing_map.c +++ b/kernel/trace/tracing_map.c @@ -15,6 +15,7 @@ #include #include #include +#include #include "tracing_map.h" #include "trace.h" @@ -307,6 +308,7 @@ static void tracing_map_array_free(struct tracing_map_array *a) for (i = 0; i < a->n_pages; i++) { if (!a->pages[i]) break; + kmemleak_free(a->pages[i]); free_page((unsigned long)a->pages[i]); } @@ -342,6 +344,7 @@ static struct tracing_map_array *tracing_map_array_alloc(unsigned int n_elts, a->pages[i] = (void *)get_zeroed_page(GFP_KERNEL); if (!a->pages[i]) goto free; + kmemleak_alloc(a->pages[i], PAGE_SIZE, 1, GFP_KERNEL); } out: return a; -- cgit v1.2.3-58-ga151
