[PATCH v2 2/3] mm: kmemleak: Factor object reference updating out of scan_block()

From: Catalin Marinas
Date: Thu May 25 2017 - 11:42:52 EST


The scan_block() function updates the number of references (pointers) to
objects, adding them to the gray_list when object->min_count is reached.
The patch factors out this functionality into a separate update_refs()
function.
