To get a better view, here's the complete patch:
kmemleak: Add callbacks to the bootmem allocator
From: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
This patch adds kmemleak_alloc/free callbacks to the bootmem allocator. This would allow scanning of such blocks and help avoiding a whole class of false positives and more kmemleak annotations.
