[PATCH v2 1/1] mm: kfence: apply kmemleak_ignore_phys on early allocated pool

[yee.lee]

From: Yee Lee <yee.lee@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch solves two issues.

(1) The pool allocated by memblock needs to unregister from
kmemleak scanning. Apply kmemleak_ignore_phys to replace the
original kmemleak_free as its address now is stored in the phys tree.

(2) The pool late allocated by page-alloc doesn't need to unregister.
Move out the freeing operation from its call path.
