This is a new version (0.3) of the kernel memory leak detector. See the Documentation/kmemleak.txt file for a more detailed description. The patches are also available from http://homepage.ntlworld.com/cmarinas/kmemleak/ (to be uploaded shortly). What's new in this version: - more clean-up - initial kernel modules support. It scans the data sections in a module while ignoring the text areas - minor optimisation to avoid radix-tree lookup when updating the pointer information - DEBUG_FS selected automatically (until/if a different method of triggering the memory scanning is implemented) To do: - better testing - support for pointer aliases in kernel modules (i.e. container_of usage in modules) - test Ingo's suggestion on task stacks scanning - NUMA support -- Catalin
