    Subject[PATCH 4/6] mm: Update the kmemleak stack trace for mempool allocations
    Date
    When mempool_alloc() returns an existing pool object, kmemleak_alloc()
    is no longer called and the stack trace corresponds to the original
    object allocation. This patch updates the kmemleak allocation stack
    trace for such objects to make it more useful for debugging.
