Subject: [PATCH 2.6.17-rc5 6/7] Remove some of the kmemleak false positives
Date: Tue, 30 May 2006 15:07:32 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060530140732.21491.50139.stgit@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20060530135016.21491.34817.stgit@localhost.localdomain>
From: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
There are allocations for which the main pointer cannot be found but they
are not memory leaks. This patch fixes some of them.
