Please send /proc/meminfo and /proc/slabinfo after the leak has been happening for a while.
Sometimes `echo m > /proc/sysrq_trigger ; dmesg -s 1000000' will provide useful info.
The page-owner code can pinpoint a leak source. See ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.23/2.6.23-mm1/broken-out/page-owner-tracking-leak-detector.patch
Enable CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB_LEAK, check out /proc/slab_allocators - 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/
