Patch series "mm/kmemleak: Simplify kmemleak_cond_resched() & fix UAF", v2. It was found that a KASAN use-after-free error was reported in the kmemleak_scan() function. After further examination, it is believe that even though a reference is taken from the current object, it does not prevent the object pointed to by the next pointer from going away after a cond_resched(). To fix that, additional flags are added to make sure that the current object won't be removed from the object_list during the duration of the cond_resched() to ensure the validity of the next pointer. While making the change, I also simplify the current usage of kmemleak_cond_resched() to make it easier to understand. This patch (of 2): The presence of a pinned argument and the 64k loop count make kmemleak_cond_resched() a bit more complex to read. The pinned argument is used only by first kmemleak_scan() loop. Simplify the usage of kmemleak_cond_resched() by removing the pinned argument and always do a get_object()/put_object() sequence. In addition, the 64k loop is removed by using need_resched() to decide if kmemleak_cond_resched() should be called.

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 Restructured Text 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.
