I have tried applied some patch (view down) to -mm kernel (last mmotm 26.29-rc8-mm1), but It was not successfull. When I have disabled Acceleration (Option "NoAccel" "true"), I was able to start X system, but in my dmesg is still error messages (attachement) Bug page: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12619 > On Mon, 2009-03-02 at 12:11 -0800, Andrew Morton wrote: > > > Mar 1 00:06:51 localhost kernel: [ 74.008165] unreferenced object 0xf6c4daf0 (size 52): > > > Mar 1 00:06:51 localhost kernel: [ 74.008170] comm "swapper", pid 1, jiffies 4294893427 > > > Mar 1 00:06:51 localhost kernel: [ 74.008175] backtrace: > > > Mar 1 00:06:51 localhost kernel: [ 74.008179] [] kmemleak_alloc+0x17e/0x28e > > > Mar 1 00:06:51 localhost kernel: [ 74.008185] [] kmem_cache_alloc+0xdc/0xe7 > > > Mar 1 00:06:51 localhost kernel: [ 74.008190] [] alloc_buffer_head+0x16/0x71 > > > Mar 1 00:06:51 localhost kernel: [ 74.008196] [] alloc_page_buffers+0x23/0xad > > > Mar 1 00:06:51 localhost kernel: [ 74.008200] [] __getblk+0x192/0x26b > > > Mar 1 00:06:51 localhost kernel: [ 74.008205] [] jread+0x105/0x1de > > > Mar 1 00:06:51 localhost kernel: [ 74.008209] [] do_one_pass+0x5e/0x38c > > > Mar 1 00:06:51 localhost kernel: [ 74.008213] [] journal_recover+0x41/0x9d > > > Mar 1 00:06:51 localhost kernel: [ 74.008218] [] journal_load+0x47/0x7b > > > Mar 1 00:06:51 localhost kernel: [ 74.008221] [] ext3_fill_super+0xe9d/0x144c > > > Mar 1 00:06:51 localhost kernel: [ 74.008225] [] get_sb_bdev+0xfa/0x140 > > > Mar 1 00:06:51 localhost kernel: [ 74.008231] [] ext3_get_sb+0x18/0x1a > > > Mar 1 00:06:51 localhost kernel: [ 74.008235] [] vfs_kern_mount+0x41/0x7c > > > Mar 1 00:06:51 localhost kernel: [ 74.008241] [] do_kern_mount+0x37/0xbe > > > Mar 1 00:06:51 localhost kernel: [ 74.008247] [] do_mount+0x5f7/0x630 > > > Mar 1 00:06:51 localhost kernel: [ 74.008253] [] sys_mount+0x6f/0xac > > I suspect kmemleak has gone nuts here. > > It seems that the buffer_head structure allocated above is stored in > page->private.

Looking again at this, the node_mem_map is always contiguous and the code above only scans the node_mem_map, not the memory represented by the node (which may not be contiguous). So I think it is a valid code sequence. If the above gets too deep into the nodes structure, an alternative would be: diff --git a/mm/page_alloc.c b/mm/page_alloc.c index 09b6fd7..0f17e62 100644 --- a/mm/page_alloc.c +++ b/mm/page_alloc.c @@ -3552,6 +3552,11 @@ static void __init_refok alloc_node_mem_map(struct pglist_data *pgdat) map = alloc_remap(pgdat->node_id, size); if (!map) map = alloc_bootmem_node(pgdat, size); + /* + * Inform kmemleak to scan the node_mem_map arrays as the page + * structure may contain pointers to other objects. + */ + kmemleak_alloc(map, size, 1, GFP_ATOMIC); pgdat->node_mem_map = map + (pgdat->node_start_pfn - start); } #ifndef CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES -- Many thanks, Jan Sonnek
