Subject: [PATCH 2.6.18-rc6 04/10] Modules support for kmemleak
Date: Wed, 06 Sep 2006 23:36:52 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060906223652.21550.9244.stgit@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20060906223536.21550.55411.stgit@localhost.localdomain>

From: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

This patch handles the kmemleak operations needed for modules loading so
that memory allocations from inside a module are properly tracked.
