Hi Shailabh,
Michal was running some kmemleak tests and there are about 20 orphan pointers reported in delayacct.c. The allocation backtrace is:
orphan pointer 0xf548fde0 (size 76): c0174674: <kmem_cache_zalloc> c01591ee: <__delayacct_tsk_init> c0127e06: <copy_process> c0128cd2: <do_fork> c0104d39: <sys_clone>
I'm not sure whether the leak occurs but there might be a path where task_struct is freed and the task->delays pointer is lost. Could you please have a look at this? Thanks.
