This is a new version (0.4) 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 full series): http://homepage.ntlworld.com/cmarinas/kmemleak/patch-2.6.17-rc5-kmemleak-0.4.bz2 http://homepage.ntlworld.com/cmarinas/kmemleak/patches-kmemleak-0.4.tar.bz2 What's new in this version: - full kernel modules support - kmemleak now depends on DEBUG_SLAB. The detection is improved by the objects poisoning caused by this configuration option - freeing orphan pointers is no longer reported since these can be false positives - replaced some _rcu list traversal loops with their normal or _safe form To do: - better testing - test Ingo's suggestion on task stacks scanning - NUMA support - (support for ioremap) -- Catalin - 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/ | ||||||||||||
