Not really. This buffer needs to be static because it is used before kmemleak is fully initialised. It's also tracking bootmem allocations. But this size should not increase the Image file size as it should go in the BSS section. An additional question - why do you need to increase this size? I found 400 to be enough usually. Do you get any errors? Since you backported kmemleak, please make sure that you check the latest code in mm/kmemleak.c as there are some bug-fixes. -- Catalin -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
