mainlining shenanigans
Yongqiang reports a kmemleak panic when module insmod/rmmod with KASAN enabled(without KASAN_VMALLOC) on x86[1]. When the module area allocates memory, it's kmemleak_object is created successfully, but the KASAN shadow memory of module allocation is not ready, so when kmemleak scan the module's pointer, it will panic due to no shadow memory with KASAN check. module_alloc __vmalloc_node_range kmemleak_vmalloc kmemleak_scan update_checksum kasan_module_alloc kmemleak_ignore Note, there is no problem if KASAN_VMALLOC enabled, the modules area entire shadow memory is preallocated. Thus, the bug only exits on ARCH which supports dynamic allocation of module area per module load, for now, only x86/arm64/s390 are involved. Add a VM_DEFER_KMEMLEAK flags, defer vmalloc'ed object register of kmemleak in module_alloc() to fix this issue.

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. 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.
