Message-Id: <1349354174-5560-1-git-send-email-elezegarcia@gmail.com> Date: Thu, 4 Oct 2012 09:36:14 -0300 From: Ezequiel Garcia <elezegarcia@...il.com> To: <linux-mm@...ck.org>, <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Cc: Tim Bird <tim.bird@...sony.com>, Ezequiel Garcia <elezegarcia@...il.com>, Sam Ravnborg <sam@...nborg.org>, Andrew Morton <akpm@...ux-foundation.org> Subject: [PATCH] lib: Use kmalloc_track_caller to get accurate traces for kvasprintf Previously kvasprintf allocation was being done through kmalloc, thus producing an unaccurate trace report. This is a common problem: in order to get accurate callsite tracing, a lib/utils function shouldn't allocate kmalloc but instead use kmalloc_track_caller.
