2016-10-11mm: kmemleak: avoid using __va() on addresses that don't have a lowmem mappingCatalin Marinas1-0/+9
Some of the kmemleak_*() callbacks in memblock, bootmem, CMA convert a physical address to a virtual one using __va(). However, such physical addresses may sometimes be located in highmem and using __va() is incorrect, leading to inconsistent object tracking in kmemleak. The following functions have been added to the kmemleak API and they take a physical address as the object pointer. They only perform the corresponding action if the address has a lowmem mapping: kmemleak_alloc_phys kmemleak_free_part_phys kmemleak_not_leak_phys kmemleak_ignore_phys The affected calling places have been updated to use the new kmemleak API.
