From 087ec15606b4a2ffef6fa3e2da4070e297f8b8f8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Larry Finger Date: Sat, 12 May 2018 09:59:38 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] ACPICA: Mark acpi_ut_create_internal_object_dbg() memory allocations as non-leaks In kernel 4.17.0-rcX, kmemleak reports 9 leaks with tracebacks similar to the following: unreferenced object 0xffff880224a077e0 (size 72): comm "swapper/0", pid 1, jiffies 4294892358 (age 1022.636s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0e 01 01 00 00 00 00 01 ................ 00 00 00 80 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ backtrace: [<000000004f506615>] acpi_ut_create_internal_object_dbg+0x4d/0x10e [<000000006e7730e3>] acpi_ds_build_internal_object+0xed/0x1cd [<00000000272b7c73>] acpi_ds_build_internal_package_obj+0x245/0x3a2 [<000000000b64c50e>] acpi_ds_eval_data_object_operands+0x17b/0x21b [<00000000589647ac>] acpi_ds_exec_end_op+0x433/0x6c1 [<000000001d69bcbf>] acpi_ps_parse_loop+0x926/0x9be [<000000005d6fa97d>] acpi_ps_parse_aml+0x1a2/0x4af [<00000000c4bef823>] acpi_ps_execute_table+0xbb/0x119 [<00000000fd9632e4>] acpi_ns_execute_table+0x20c/0x260 [<00000000e6ae17ac>] acpi_ns_parse_table+0x7d/0x1b3 [<0000000008e1e148>] acpi_ns_load_table+0x8d/0x1c0 [<000000009fc8346f>] acpi_tb_load_namespace+0x176/0x278 [<0000000073f98b3b>] acpi_load_tables+0x6e/0xfd [<00000000d2ef13d2>] acpi_init+0x8c/0x340 [<000000007da19d8d>] do_one_initcall+0x46/0x1fa [<0000000024681a1d>] kernel_init_freeable+0x1a2/0x237 According to gdb, the offending code is object = acpi_ut_allocate_object_desc_dbg(module_name, line_number, component_id); As it is not possible to unload the ACPI code to test that this is a real leak and not a false positive, and that only these 9 appear no matter how long the system is up, a kmemleak_not_leak(object) call is inserted.
