Subject[PATCH 0/2] mm/kmemleak: Simplify kmemleak_cond_resched() & fix UAF
Date
It was found that a KASAN use-after-free error was reported in the
kmemleak_scan() function. After further examination, it is believe
that even though a reference is taken from the current object, it does
not prevent the object pointed to by the next pointer from going away
after a cond_resched(). So the heuristics is now changed to restart
scanning from the beginning of object_list in case the current object
is no longer in the object_list, i.e. OBJECT_ALLOCATED flag not set.

While making the change, I also simplify the current usage of
kmemleak_cond_resched() to make it easier to understand.
