From: Ran Xiaokai <[email protected]>
When booting with debug_pagealloc=on while having:
CONFIG_KEXEC_HANDOVER_ENABLE_DEFAULT=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_DEFAULT_OFF=n
the system fails to boot due to page faults during kmemleak scanning.
This occurs because:
With debug_pagealloc is enabled, __free_pages() invokes
debug_pagealloc_unmap_pages(), clearing the _PAGE_PRESENT bit for
freed pages in the kernel page table.
Commit 3dc92c311498 ("kexec: add Kexec HandOver (KHO) generation helpers")
triggers this when releases the KHO scratch region calling
init_cma_reserved_pageblock(). Subsequent kmemleak scanning accesses
these non-PRESENT pages, leading to fatal page faults.
Call kmemleak_ignore_phys() from kho_init() to exclude
the reserved region from kmemleak scanning before
it is released to the buddy allocator to fix this.
