Subject: [PATCH] kmemleak: Allow rescheduling during an object scanning
Date: Fri, 14 Aug 2009 23:47:44 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1250290064.5085.20.camel@pc1117.cambridge.arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1250289913.5085.17.camel@pc1117.cambridge.arm.com>

If the object size is bigger than a predefined value (4K in this case),
release the object lock during scanning and call cond_resched().
Re-acquire the lock after rescheduling and test whether the object is
still valid.
