[PATCH 2/2] mm/kmemleak: No need to check kmemleak_initialized in set_track_prepare()

From: Xiaolei Wang
Date: Thu Aug 10 2023 - 03:47:56 EST


The kmemleak_late_init() is defined as a late_initcall. The current
implementation of set_track_prepare() depends on the kmemleak init.
That also means there is no call trace for the memory leak which object
is created before the kmemleak_late_init().



In a previous patch, we have fixed a bug in stack_depot_save() so that
it can be invoked even before stack depot is initialized. So there is
no reason to check the kmemleak_initialized in set_track_prepare().
So delete the kmemleak_initialized judgment in set_track_prepare()
