[PATCH] mm: kmemleak: Avoid using __va() on addresses that don't have a lowmem mapping
From: Catalin Marinas
Date: Tue Aug 16 2016 - 11:21:24 EST
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.

Not entirely sure about cc'ing stable though. This bug has been around
since the beginnings of kmemleak and I only now got a bug report. It's
either because the preconditions are hard to meet or/and people don't
enable kmemleak very often. Once this patch hits mainline, I can send it
separately to linux-stable for versions we can reproduce the issue on
(4.4 seems to be one of them).
