A new kmemleak version is available. Thanks to all who reviewed the code and provided feedback. Kmemleak can also be found on this git tree:
git://linux-arm.org/linux-2.6.git kmemleak
Main changes since the previous release:
- run-time configuration by writing to the /sys/kernel/debug/memleak file (see Documentation/kmemleak.txt) - boot-time disabling by passing kmemleak=off - no scanning of the array_cache structures in slab to avoid false negatives - aesthetic change - s/memleak/kmemleak for all the functions as it is more consistent with the documentation - various other changes following comments received
Thanks for your comments.
