That's intentional. gendisks (like everything using kobjects) are reference counted and ->release is unly called after the last reference goes away, for gendisks that would be the last put_disk call. Unless you miss the put_disk call (which md certainly has) there's no memeory leak. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||
