Seems we need to insert the flag between alloc_slab_page and alloc_pages()? Without GFP flag, it's difficult to pass info to should_fail_alloc_page and keep simple at same time. Or as Michal suggested, completely disabling page alloc fail injection when kmemleak enabled. And enable it again when kmemleak off. alloc_slab_page <========= flag to change the behavior of should_fail_alloc_page alloc_pages alloc_pages_current __alloc_pages_nodemask prepare_alloc_pages should_fail_alloc_page > > -- > Catalin > -- Regards, Chunyu Hu
