This is a new version (0.7) of the kernel memory leak detector. See the Documentation/kmemleak.txt file for a more detailed description. The patches are downloadable from (the bundled patch or the series):
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/cmarinas/kmemleak/patch-2.6.17-rc6-kmemleak-0.7.bz2 http://homepage.ntlworld.com/cmarinas/kmemleak/patches-kmemleak-0.7.tar.bz2
What's new in this version:
- different configuration options added for tweaking kmemleak - reduced the length of time running with interrupts disabled (the interrupts are now only disabled for individual memory block scanning rather than for the whole memory) - fixed bug in the memleak_seq_* functions (pointer structure accessed after freeing) - more false positives ignored
To do:
- more testing - more investigation into the task stacks scanning - NUMA support - (support for ioremap tracking)
Many thanks to Michal Piotrowski for stress-testing kmemleak and reporting various issues.
