[PATCH 4.19 128/142] debugobjects: avoid recursive calls with kmemleak

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Dec 14 2018 - 07:06:32 EST


4.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

[ Upstream commit 8de456cf87ba863e028c4dd01bae44255ce3d835 ]

CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD does not play well with kmemleak due to
recursive calls.

fill_pool
kmemleak_ignore
make_black_object
put_object
__call_rcu (kernel/rcu/tree.c)
debug_rcu_head_queue
debug_object_activate
debug_object_init
fill_pool
kmemleak_ignore
make_black_object
...

So add SLAB_NOLEAKTRACE to kmem_cache_create() to not register newly
allocated debug objects at all.
