So I'll do a minimal conversion that adds "memblock_free_ptr()" and
hope that people start using that. And then we can later try to move
"memblock_free()" to a name that isn't so misleading.  
Commit 77e02cf57b6c ("memblock: introduce saner 'memblock_free_ptr()'
interface") should hopefully fix that panic that Vlastimil saw, and
the kernel test robot report as well.

And it should make it easy to cleanly fix that 'copy' leak too.
Vlastimil,

Can you confirm that Linus's changes addresses your issue?

Masami,

Care to rebase on top of Linus's change?
Sure! and I found another memblock leak, so I'll add it too.

Thank you!
