[PATCH 2/2] mm: introduce __GFP_TRACKLEAK to track in-kernel allocation

From: zhaoyang.huang
Date: Tue Sep 13 2022 - 02:12:35 EST


From: Zhaoyang Huang <zhaoyang.huang@xxxxxxxxxx>

Kthread and drivers could fetch memory via alloc_pages directly which make them
hard to debug when leaking. Solve this by introducing __GFP_TRACELEAK and reuse
kmemleak mechanism which unified most of kernel cosuming pages into kmemleak.

This patch has been tested with alloc_pages(__GFP_TRACKLEAK) & (__GFP_TRACKLEAK|__GFP_COMP)
and got proved as effective.
