Subject: 3.4-rc2: Possible memory leak in __register_sysctl_table()
Date: Fri, 13 Apr 2012 13:10:05 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4F886BFD.7040007@lwfinger.net> (raw)
I am seeing apparent memory leaks in 3.4-rcX. I do not think I saw these in 3.3.
The kmemleak traceback is:
unreferenced object 0xffff8800b7536180 (size 96):
comm "swapper/0", pid 1, jiffies 4294892617 (age 8756.084s)
hex dump (first 32 bytes):

01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................
