Subject: [PATCH] kmemleak: Ignore the aperture memory hole on x86_64
Date: Fri, 14 Aug 2009 23:48:38 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1250290118.5085.21.camel@pc1117.cambridge.arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1250289913.5085.17.camel@pc1117.cambridge.arm.com>
This block is allocated with alloc_bootmem() and scanned by kmemleak but
the kernel direct mapping may no longer exist. This patch tells kmemleak
to ignore this memory hole.
