[PATCH 1/1] mm: vmalloc: Add a scan area of VA only once

From: Uladzislau Rezki (Sony)
Date: Fri Feb 02 2024 - 14:12:15 EST


Invoke a kmemleak_scan_area() function only for newly allocated
objects to add a scan area within that object. There is no reason
to add a same scan area(pointer to beginning or inside the object)
several times. If a VA is obtained from the cache its scan area
has already been associated.

Fixes: 7db166b4aa0d ("mm: vmalloc: offload free_vmap_area_lock lock")
