[PATCH v2 0/1] mm: kfence: fix unexpected leak scan on kfence pool
From: yee.lee
Date: Tue Jun 28 2022 - 07:37:54 EST
From: Yee Lee <yee.lee@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Since the latest patches of kmemleak separated its address management
to two rb-trees, phys and virt, the kmemleak_free failed to free kfence_pool
from the virt tree. It caused unexpected scan the blocks and triggered
kfence faults.

==================================================================
This patch applies kmemleak_ignore_phys() to replace the original kmemleak_free and
adapts it to the late enabling case.
v1->v2:
- use kmemleak_ignore_phys() to bypass the scanning.
- move out the freeing opeartion from late enabling as it's trivial.
