Does your system actually lose this memory or they are just be false positives? We've known since around 3.1 that kmemleak has some issues with per-cpu memory allocations and reporting false positives. The patches just went in (to be visible in 3.3-rc1). Alternatively, you could cherry-pick them from here: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=029aeff5db879afd7760f11214b6fea45f76b58e (commit f528f0b8e5 "kmemleak: Handle percpu memory allocation" is the one you would need) Thanks. -- 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/
