Subject: [PATCH] fix memory leak while coredumping
Date: Mon, 02 Feb 2004 19:53:35 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040202105335.DFE88700A2@sv1.valinux.co.jp> (raw)
Hi,
with some help of coworker, I found a bug in binfmt_elf.c.
The bug exists in linux-2.6.1 and linux-2.6.2-rc2-mm2.
This patch fixes a memory leak that happens when a core file hits the
process's resource limit.
I've tested the DUMP_WRITE case only a little, and the DUMP_SEEK case
is only compile tested.
