    Making the objects "black" means that they are completely ignored by
    kmemleak and they are assumed not to contain any valid references.
    Therefore they won't be scanned and many of the newly allocated objects
    would be false positives.

    You may want to make them "gray" and only those which were reported as
    unreferenced, something like below:

    if ((object->flags & OBJECT_REPORTED) && unreferenced_object(object))
    make_gray_object(object->pointer)
