• 9099daed9   mm: kmemleak: avoid using __va() on addresses that don't have a lowmem mapping ... Browse Code »

  Some of the kmemleak_*() callbacks in memblock, bootmem, CMA convert a
  physical address to a virtual one using __va(). However, such physical
  addresses may sometimes be located in highmem and using __va() is
  incorrect, leading to inconsistent object tracking in kmemleak.

  The following functions have been added to the kmemleak API and they take
  a physical address as the object pointer. They only perform the
  corresponding action if the address has a lowmem mapping:

  kmemleak_alloc_phys
  kmemleak_free_part_phys
  kmemleak_not_leak_phys
  kmemleak_ignore_phys

  The affected calling places have been updated to use the new kmemleak
  API.

  This directory will be a collecting point for documentation oriented around
  development tools. As a step toward ordering Documentation/ it's a small
  one, but we have to start somewhere...
