Subject: kmemleak: Remove some of the kmemleak false positives
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2e1483c995bbd0fa6cbd055ad76088a520799ba4;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal7580.git

kmemleak: Remove some of the kmemleak false positives

There are allocations for which the main pointer cannot be found but
they are not memory leaks. This patch fixes some of them. For more
information on false positives, see Documentation/kmemleak.txt.
