The introduction of iova_depot_pop() in 911aa1245d ("iommu/iova: Make
the rcache depot scale better") confused kmemleak by moving a struct
iova_magazine object from a singly linked list to rcache->depot and
resetting the 'next' pointer referencing it. Unlike doubly linked lists,
the content of the object being referred is never changed on removal from
a singly linked list and the kmemleak checksum heuristics do not detect
such scenario. This leads to false positives like:
unreferenced object 0xffff8881a5301000 (size 1024):
comm "softirq", pid 0, jiffies 4306297099 (age 462.991s)
hex dump (first 32 bytes):
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 e7 7d 05 00 00 00 00 00 .........}......
0f b4 05 00 00 00 00 00 b4 96 05 00 00 00 00 00 ................

Introduce kmemleak_transient_leak() which resets the object checksum
requiring another scan pass before it is reported (if still unreferenced).
Call this new API in iova_depot_pop().

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.
