rcu: kmemleak: Ignore kmemleak false positives when RCU-freeing objects
Since the actual slab freeing is deferred when calling kvfree_rcu(), so is the kmemleak_free() callback informing kmemleak of the object deletion. From the perspective of the kvfree_rcu() caller, the object is freed and it may remove any references to it. Since kmemleak does not scan RCU internal data storing the pointer, it will report such objects as leaks during the grace period. Tell kmemleak to ignore such objects on the kvfree_call_rcu() path. Note that the tiny RCU implementation does not have such issue since the objects can be tracked from the rcu_ctrlblk structure. Signed-off-by:Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Reported-by:
