SubjectRe: kmemleak for MIPS
From
We have:

> UDP hash table entries: 128 (order: 0, 4096 bytes)
> CONFIG_BASE_SMALL=0

udp_table_init looks like:

if (!CONFIG_BASE_SMALL)
table->hash = alloc_large_system_hash(name, .. &table->mask);
/*
* Make sure hash table has the minimum size
*/

Since CONFIG_BASE_SMALL is 0, we are allocating the hash using
alloc_large_system
Then:
if (CONFIG_BASE_SMALL || table->mask < UDP_HTABLE_SIZE_MIN - 1) {
table->hash = kmalloc();

table->mask is 127, and UDP_HTABLE_SIZE_MIN is 256, so we are allocating again
table->hash without freeing already allocated memory.

We could free table->hash, before allocating the memory with kmalloc.
I don't fully understand the condition table->mask < UDP_HTABLE_SIZE_MIN - 1.

Eric?

thanks,
Daniel.
