This warning seems to be generated by depot_alloc_stack() and not related to kmemleak. Is there any message from kmemleak in the kernel log which says why it was disabled? In general kmemleak_disable() call whould be accompanied by a pr_warn() with more information.
So I retested it this on today's mainline HEAD. Although kmemleak remains enabled after bootup, the kernel won't be able to survive any kernel compilation workload.

The latest kernel dump seems to be unrelated to the original one. I can indeed trigger it with the latest kernel but I'm not sure it depends on KASan. It seems that task_stack_page() returns NULL occasionally (maybe caused by the recent vmap stack changes on x86; I'll add some debug printks to kmemleak and re-test).
Commit 68f24b08ee89 ("sched/core: Free the stack early if CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK") causes the task->stack to be set to NULL. I'll have to check if this happens while read_lock(&tasklist_lock) but from the commit log, it seems that it might be possible.
I didn't do anything to intentionally prevent it. The right way to fix it should be to use try_get_task_stack().
I fixed it in this patch: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1476266223-14325-1-git-send-email-catalin.marinas@arm.com If Cai is no longer seeing any issues, we could close this bug.
Yes, everything works fine now.
CAI, please close this bug as it's fixed now. This still shows up as STATUS:NEW bug for KASAN.
