[PATCH] mm: Postpone the disabling of kmemleak early logging

From: Catalin Marinas
Date: Wed May 07 2014 - 09:29:32 EST


Commit 8910ae896c8c (kmemleak: change some global variables to int), in
addition to the atomic -> int conversion, moved the kmemleak_early_log
disabling at the beginning of the kmemleak_init() function, before the
full kmemleak tracing is actually enabled. In this small window,
kmem_cache_create() is called by kmemleak which triggers additional
memory allocation that are not traced. This patch restores the original
logic with kmemleak_early_log disabling when kmemleak is fully
functional.
