Memblock allocations are registered by kmemleak separately, based on their physical address. During the scanning stage, it checks whether an object is within the min_low_pfn and max_low_pfn boundaries and ignores it otherwise. With the recent addition of __percpu pointer leak detection (commit6c99d4eb7c("kmemleak: enable tracking for percpu pointers")), kmemleak started reporting leaks in setup_zone_pageset() and setup_per_cpu_pageset(). These were caused by the node_data[0] object (initialised in alloc_node_data()) ending on the PFN_PHYS(max_low_pfn) boundary. The non-strict upper boundary check introduced by commit84c3262991("mm: kmemleak: check physical address when scan") causes the pg_data_t object to be ignored (not scanned) and the __percpu pointers it contains to be reported as leaks. Make the max_low_pfn upper boundary check strict when deciding whether to ignore a physical address object and not scan it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
