From 8e019366ba749a536131cde1947af6dcaccf8e8f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pekka Enberg Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2009 14:50:00 +0100 Subject: kmemleak: Don't scan uninitialized memory when kmemcheck is enabled Ingo Molnar reported the following kmemcheck warning when running both kmemleak and kmemcheck enabled: PM: Adding info for No Bus:vcsa7 WARNING: kmemcheck: Caught 32-bit read from uninitialized memory (f6f6e1a4) d873f9f600000000c42ae4c1005c87f70000000070665f666978656400000000 i i i i u u u u i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i u u u ^ Pid: 3091, comm: kmemleak Not tainted (2.6.31-rc7-tip #1303) P4DC6 EIP: 0060:[] EFLAGS: 00010006 CPU: 0 EIP is at scan_block+0x3f/0xe0 EAX: f40bd700 EBX: f40bd780 ECX: f16b46c0 EDX: 00000001 ESI: f6f6e1a4 EDI: 00000000 EBP: f10f3f4c ESP: c2605fcc DS: 007b ES: 007b FS: 00d8 GS: 00e0 SS: 0068 CR0: 8005003b CR2: e89a4844 CR3: 30ff1000 CR4: 000006f0 DR0: 00000000 DR1: 00000000 DR2: 00000000 DR3: 00000000 DR6: ffff4ff0 DR7: 00000400 [] scan_object+0x7c/0xf0 [] kmemleak_scan+0x1d9/0x400 [] kmemleak_scan_thread+0x4c/0xb0 [] kthread+0x74/0x80 [] kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x3c [] 0xffffffff kmemleak: 515 new suspected memory leaks (see /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak) kmemleak: 42 new suspected memory leaks (see /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak) The problem here is that kmemleak will scan partially initialized objects that makes kmemcheck complain. Fix that up by skipping uninitialized memory regions when kmemcheck is enabled.
