[ Upstream commit803d690e68] When a process allocates a hugepage, the following leak is reported by kmemleak. This is a false positive which is due to the pointer to the table being stored in the PGD as physical memory address and not virtual memory pointer. unreferenced object 0xc30f8200 (size 512): comm "mmap", pid 374, jiffies 4872494 (age 627.630s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ backtrace: [<e32b68da>] huge_pte_alloc+0xdc/0x1f8 [<9e0df1e1>] hugetlb_fault+0x560/0x8f8 [<7938ec6c>] follow_hugetlb_page+0x14c/0x44c [<afbdb405>] __get_user_pages+0x1c4/0x3dc [<b8fd7cd9>] __mm_populate+0xac/0x140 [<3215421e>] vm_mmap_pgoff+0xb4/0xb8 [<c148db69>] ksys_mmap_pgoff+0xcc/0x1fc [<4fcd760f>] ret_from_syscall+0x0/0x38 See commita984506c54("powerpc/mm: Don't report PUDs as memory leaks when using kmemleak") for detailed explanation. To fix that, this patch tells kmemleak to ignore the allocated hugepage table.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
