[PATCH 0/1] mm: kfence: remove kfence_pool from leak trace

[PATCH 0/1] mm: kfence: remove kfence_pool from leak trace

[yee.lee]

From: Yee Lee <yee.lee@mediatek.com>

Since the latest patches of kmemleak separated its address management 
to two, phys and virt, rb-trees, the kmemleak_free failed to free kfence_pool
in the virt tree. It caused unexpected scan the blocks and triggered
kfence faults.

Is this purely meant to be a cleanup and non-functional change?

This appears to only be a non-functional change if the pool is
allocated early. If the pool is allocated late using page-alloc, then
there'll not be a kmemleak_free() on that memory and we'll have the
same problem.

Do you mean the kzalloc(slab_is_available) in memblock_allc()? That
implies that MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_NOLEAKTRACE has no guarantee skipping
kmemleak_alloc from this. (Maybe add it?)

If so, we cannot identify later the block is stored in the phys
tree(memblock) or the virt tree(page_alloc).

Thanks for the information.

But as I known, page-alloc does not request kmemleak areas.
So the current kfence_pool_init_late() would cause another kmemleak
warning on unknown freeing. 

Reproducing test: (kfence late enable + kmemleak debug on)

Hence, now there are two issues to solve.
(1) (The original)To prevent the undesired kmemleak scanning on the
kfence pool. As Cataline's suggestion, we can just apply
kmemleak_ignore_phys instead of free it at all. 
ref: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/YrWPg3xIHbm9bFxP@arm.com/

(2) The late-allocated kfence pool doesn't need to go through
kmemleak_free. We can relocate the opeartion to
kfence_init_pool_early() to seperate them. 
That is, kfence_init_pool_early(memblock) has it and
kfence_init_pool_late(page alloc) does not. 

The draft is like the following.
