Hello,

Running xfstests on top of an ext4 filesystem causes kmemleak to report 
the following memory leak multiple times:

unreferenced object 0xffff880408709730 (size 96):
   comm "fsstress", pid 35588, jiffies 4295006079 (age 11865.680s)
   hex dump (first 32 bytes):

Is this something new?   i..e, was this reproducible on v4.3?

And can you isolate this to a specific test in xfstests?

Thanks,

Hello Ted,

So far I only ran xfstests against the 4.4-rc3 kernel so I do not know 
whether this also occurred with previous kernel versions.

kmemleak scans periodically for memory leaks. kmemleak started reporting 
these leaks after test generic/037 had started. So I think one of the 
first 37 tests triggered this leak.

Bart.
