See the Documentation/kmemleak.txt file for a more detailed description. The patches are downloadable from (the whole patch or the broken-out series): http://homepage.ntlworld.com/cmarinas/kmemleak/patch-2.6.18-rc1-kmemleak-0.8.bz2 http://homepage.ntlworld.com/cmarinas/kmemleak/patches-kmemleak-0.8.tar.bz2 What's new in this version: - reviewers comments implemented - added support for type ids (currently approximated by sizeof) - NUMA support - reduced the memory allocation/freeing overhead by adding the pointer aliases to the radix tree only when scanning the memory - improved documentation and in-code comments To do: - more testing - more investigation into the task stacks scanning - precise type identification (after first assessing the efficiency of the current method as it requires changes to the kernel API) - (support for ioremap tracking) -- Catalin
