Subject: Memory leak in 3.4.x-rt ?
Date: Fri, 24 Aug 2012 14:38:11 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <503775B3.4080504@cantastic.org> (raw)

Hi,

we work on our TX4938 (Toshiba Mips, little endian mode) based embedded 
system (motion control)
running successfully a 3.2 RT patched kernel for month now.

I just give a try to a 3.4 RT patched kernel and detected a memory 
problem as you can see from the logs below:

3.2 with RT FULL PREEMPT is o.k
3.4 without RT FULL PREEMPT is .ok.
3.4 with RT FULL PREEMPT is not o.k.

Can anyone give me hint in which direction I could go to detect the 
problem or has anyone else the same problem?

Thanks and regards
Ralf
