[PATCH RFC 07/10] kfence, kmemleak: make KFENCE compatible with KMEMLEAK

From: Marco Elver
Date: Mon Sep 07 2020 - 09:47:47 EST


From: Alexander Potapenko <glider@xxxxxxxxxx>

Add compatibility with KMEMLEAK, by making KMEMLEAK aware of the KFENCE
memory pool. This allows building debug kernels with both enabled, which
also helped in debugging KFENCE.
