| |
Hello,
I am running 2.0.33 on several machines which are being used as network routers. They all have 8Mb of memory. I wrote small userspace programm that is reporting amount of free memory every 10 seconds. It is decreasing all the time. The longest time I have seen them up is approx. 10 hours. I suppose it is memory leak in kernel because there are no any serious userspace programs running (except inetd because I administer them remotely).
And now my question: which is the best/fastest way to find memory leaks (which function should I patch to log some information, maybe there already is some patch), also what could be possible reasons of leaks. I am using ne device driver. Maybe that is hardware problem (I thought so and compiled kernel for 386, no changes...)?
Please, give me a hand (I suppose I can do most of searching myself, I just have to start from somewhere)
Sincerely, Karlis
