Subject: [patch 6/27] dbeug check for leaked blockdev buffers
Date: Thu, 04 Jul 2002 16:54:04 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3D24E01C.84EF4ABD@zip.com.au> (raw)
Having just fiddled with the refcounts of blockdev buffers, I want some
way of assuring that the code is correct and is not leaking
buffer_heads.
There's no easy way to do this: if a blockdev page has pinned buffers
then truncate_complete_page just cuts it loose and we leak memory.
The patch adds a bit of debug code to catch these leaks. This code,
PF_RADIX_TREE and buffer_error() need to be removed later on.
