Liu Shixin 4eff7d62ab Revert "mm/kmemleak: move the initialisation of object to __link_object"
Patch series "Fix invalid wait context of set_track_prepare()".

Geert reported an invalid wait context[1] which is resulted by moving
set_track_prepare() inside kmemleak_lock.  This is not allowed because in
RT mode, the spinlocks can be preempted but raw_spinlocks can not, so it
is not allowd to acquire spinlocks while holding raw_spinlocks.  The
second patch fix same problem in kmemleak_update_trace().


This patch (of 2):

Move the initialisation of object back to__alloc_object() because
set_track_prepare() attempt to acquire zone->lock(spinlocks) while
__link_object is holding kmemleak_lock(raw_spinlocks).  This is not right
for RT mode.

This reverts commit 245245c2ff ("mm/kmemleak: move the initialisation
of object to __link_object").

README

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.
