Subjectcifs leaks memory like crazy in 2.5.61
From
Date
Hi Steven,

I've been using cifs in 2.5.61 instead of smbfs (it has problems with
slab debugging) for 4.5 days now and I just noticed a bad thing.
I was looking at /proc/slabinfo and this jumped out at me:

size-64 1843081 1847421 72 .....

that's a _lot_ of allocations.
I tried to figure out what was leaking and every time I listed a
directory mounted from a samba server it increased. A simple ls -R was
scary to see.

Then I unmounted all my cifs filesystems (two) and removed the cifs
module and got this:

kmem_cache_destroy: Can't free all objects e8eefd00
cifs_destroy_request_cache: error not all structures were freed

Is this a known problem?

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.
