Is this good or bad? I'm guessing it means it's still leaking. So it's really starting to look like ata_piix is the problem. But we need someone who has the leak to remove that and see if it helps. I can't, since my drives are connected to it.
And developers:
Can anyone PLEASE take a look at this? We've got 4 confirmed reports of it, and it's nothing to do with a tainted module. Take a look at this slabtop output:
OBJS ACTIVE USE OBJ SIZE SLABS OBJ/SLAB CACHE SIZE NAME 1230120 1230120 100% 0.38K 123012 10 492048K scsi_cmd_cache
I have a 492MB leak! And notice how objects never become unused - that looks like the problem.
