Subject: [PATCH] mm/z3fold: silence kmemleak false positives of slots
Date:   Fri, 22 May 2020 18:00:52 -0400
Message-Id: <20200522220052.2225-1-cai@lca.pw>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

Kmemleak reported many leaks while under memory pressue in,

slots = alloc_slots(pool, gfp);

which is referenced by "zhdr" in init_z3fold_page(),

zhdr->slots = slots;

However, "zhdr" could be gone without freeing slots as the later will be
freed separately when the last "handle" off of "handles" array is freed. It
will be within "slots" which is always aligned.

unreferenced object 0xc000000fdadc1040 (size 104):
  comm "oom04", pid 140476, jiffies 4295359280 (age 3454.970s)
