powerpc/dart: Drop unnecessary call to kmemleak_no_scan()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Erhard reported that kmemleak was showing a warning at boot:

  kmemleak: Not scanning unknown object at 0xc00000007f000000
  CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper Not tainted 5.19.0-rc3-PMacG5+ #2
  Call Trace:
   .dump_stack_lvl+0x7c/0xc4 (unreliable)
   .kmemleak_no_scan+0xe0/0x100
   .iommu_init_early_dart+0x2f0/0x924

   .start_kernel+0xdc/0xb74
   start_here_common+0x1c/0x44
  DART table allocated at: (____ptrval____)

Which he bisected to a change in kmemleak, commit
23c2d49 ("mm: kmemleak: take a full lowmem check in kmemleak_*_phys()").

Because pmac_probe() is called before mem_topology_setup(), the min/
max PFN variables are still zero. That causes kmemleak_alloc_phys() to
ignore the allocation, because the checks against the PFN fail. Then
kmemleak_no_scan() can't find the allocation and prints warning.

Given that kmemleak_alloc_phys() is ignoring the allocation to begin
with, there's no need to call kmemleak_no_scan() at all, which avoids
the warning.
