Subject: Leak in toshiba_acpi
Date: Tue, 24 May 2005 14:46:34 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200505241446.34614.michal@cihar.com> (raw)
Hi all
On my notebook I noticed constant eating of memory of something in kernel,
that allocates slab size-64. After some more testing I found that it is
caused by reading values from toshiba_acpi module (/proc/acpi/toshiba
interface).
However I'm unable to track it better, I don't know ACPI code and I haven't
found much documentation. From what I know it looks to me like it forgets to
free some memory it gets from ACPI calls. It happens on all read operations,
so it must be some generic error in this module.
I'm using kernel 2.6.11.10. Could somebody please point me to useful
documentation or help me with debugging this?
