[PATCH V2] megaraid: kmemleak: Track page allocation for fusion

From: shuwang
Date: Fri Sep 15 2017 - 01:22:24 EST


From: Shu Wang <shuwang@xxxxxxxxxx>

Kmemleak reports about a thousand false positives for fusion->
cmd_list[]. Root casue is the cmd_list objects are allocated from
slab allocator, and stored its pointer in object allocated by page
allocator. The fix will tell kmemleak to track and scan fusion
object.

V2:
Add comment, balance braces, move kmemleak_free before free_pages.
checkpatch passed.

Before patch:
kmemleak: 1004 new suspected memory leaks (see /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak)
