Subject[PATCH] block: kmemleak: Track the page allocations for struct request
Date
The pages allocated for struct request contain pointers to other slab
allocations (via ops->init_request). Since kmemleak does not track/scan
page allocations, the slab objects will be reported as leaks (false
positives). This patch adds kmemleak callbacks to allow tracking of such
pages.

Jens,

I just realised that no-one has picked this patch up for -rc1. It was
discussed here previously:

http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20150803104309.GB4033@e104818-lin.cambridge.arm.com

Since it touches the block layer, are you fine with merging it?

Thanks,

Catalin
