[PATCH v3 0/3] mm: kmemleak: Use a memory pool for kmemleak object allocations

[Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>]

Following the discussions on v2 of this patch(set) [1], this series
takes slightly different approach:

- it implements its own simple memory pool that does not rely on the
  slab allocator

- drops the early log buffer logic entirely since it can now allocate
  metadata from the memory pool directly before kmemleak is fully
  initialised

- CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_EARLY_LOG_SIZE option is renamed to
  CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_MEM_POOL_SIZE

- moves the kmemleak_init() call earlier (mm_init())

- to avoid a separate memory pool for struct scan_area, it makes the
  tool robust when such allocations fail as scan areas are rather an
  optimisation
