Well, you set CONFIG_DEBUG_MEMLEAK_HASH_BITS to 32, this means that
kmemleak needs to allocate (sizeof(void*) * 2^32) which is 16GB of
RAM. I think a maximum of 20 should be enough (I got acceptable
results with 16 hash bits, the default value, and it seemed to do
better with 18).

CONFIG_DEBUG_MEMLEAK=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_MEMLEAK_HASH_BITS=8
CONFIG_DEBUG_MEMLEAK_TRACE_LENGTH=12
CONFIG_DEBUG_MEMLEAK_PREINIT_OBJECTS=512
# CONFIG_DEBUG_MEMLEAK_SECONDARY_ALIASES is not set
# CONFIG_DEBUG_MEMLEAK_TASK_STACKS is not set
# CONFIG_DEBUG_MEMLEAK_ORPHAN_FREEING is not set
CONFIG_DEBUG_MEMLEAK_REPORTS_NR=100
# CONFIG_DEBUG_KEEP_INIT is not set
# CONFIG_DEBUG_MEMLEAK_TEST is not set

I still get a panic
