[PATCH V2] megaraid: kmemleak: Track page allocation for fusion

Show all headers | View raw

From: Shu Wang <shuwang@redhat.com>

Kmemleak reports about a thousand false positives for fusion->
cmd_list[]. Root casue is the cmd_list objects are allocated from
slab allocator, and stored its pointer in object allocated by page
allocator. The fix will tell kmemleak to track and scan fusion
object.

V2:
Add comment, balance braces, move kmemleak_free before free_pages.
checkpatch passed.

Before patch:
kmemleak: 1004 new suspected memory leaks (see /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak)

unreferenced object 0xffff88042584e000 (size 8192):
