Subject: V3.10-rc1 memory leak
Date: Mon, 13 May 2013 12:39:51 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <51912567.6090507@lwfinger.net> (raw)
Using v3.10-rc1-68-g2d3ec09, I am getting many instances of the following from
kmemleak:
unreferenced object 0xffff8800b546dc30 (size 48):
comm "systemd-udevd", pid 2181, jiffies 4294899141 (age 274.096s)
hex dump (first 32 bytes):

These appear to be real leaks, but I am not familiar with this section of the
code, and they could be false indications.
This mail is sent to all authors of patches incorporated in
kernel/trace/trace_events.c in 2013. Kernel 3.9 did not show this problem.
Thanks,
Larry
