Then, faddr2line pointed out this line,
/*
* This memory isn't freed when the device is put,
* I don't have a nice idea for that though. Conceptually
* dma_mask in struct device should not be a pointer.
* See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.pci/9081
*/
pdev->dev.dma_mask =
kmalloc(sizeof(*pdev->dev.dma_mask), GFP_KERNEL);
Since this leak has existed for more than 8 years and it does not
reference other parts of the memory, let kmemleak ignore it, so users
don't need to waste time reporting this in the future.

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.
