    mm: kmemleak: avoid false negatives on vmalloc'ed objects · dc47dfd2
    Catalin Marinas authored Nov 12, 2013
    commit 7f88f88f upstream.
    
    Commit 248ac0e1
    
     ("mm/vmalloc: remove guard page from between vmap
    blocks") had the side effect of making vmap_area.va_end member point to
    the next vmap_area.va_start.  This was creating an artificial reference
    to vmalloc'ed objects and kmemleak was rarely reporting vmalloc() leaks.
    
    This patch marks the vmap_area containing pointers explicitly and
    reduces the min ref_count to 2 as vm_struct still contains a reference
    to the vmalloc'ed object.  The kmemleak add_scan_area() function has
    been improved to allow a SIZE_MAX argument covering the rest of the
    object (for simpler calling sites).
