Subject[PATCH 2/8] kmemleak: Allow rescheduling during an object scanning
FromCatalin Marinas <>
DateFri, 24 Jul 2009 17:12:13 +0100
If the object size is bigger than a predefined value (4K in this case),
release the object lock during scanning and call cond_resched().
Re-acquire the lock after rescheduling and test whether the object is
still valid.
