Subject: [RFC] kmemleak: Is DMI supported ?
Date: Thu, 11 Mar 2010 18:34:28 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1268328868.2986.547.camel@edumazet-laptop> (raw)
Hi Catalin
On my i686 machine, I have
CONFIG_DMI=y
and 12 entries in /sys/firmware/memmap/ like first one named "0" :
$ grep . /sys/firmware/memmap/0/*
/sys/firmware/memmap/0/end:0x9f3ff
/sys/firmware/memmap/0/start:0x0
/sys/firmware/memmap/0/type:System RAM
All 12 kobjects are allocated in DMI zone between
c1001000 b .brk.dmi_alloc
c1011000 B __brk_limit)
see arch/x86/kernel/setup.c:124
#ifdef CONFIG_DMI
RESERVE_BRK(dmi_alloc, 65536);
#endif
Still kmemleak seems to thing their names are unreferenced objects.
unreferenced object 0xf6a4bcd8 (size 8):
comm "swapper", pid 1, jiffies 4294669233 (age 2454.223s)
hex dump (first 8 bytes):
31 31 00 f6 00 00 00 00 11......

Any idea how to include dmi_alloc zone in kmemleak logic ?
Thanks
