Subject: [PATCH 0/4] Kmemleak improvements on false positives
Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2009 15:12:35 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090626140847.31504.79381.stgit@pc1117.cambridge.arm.com> (raw)
Hi,
This set of patches are aimed at reducing the amount of false positives
and the verbosity of the kmemleak reports. The task stack scanning is no
enabled by default but this can be disabled at run-time with a risk of
more false positives.
I haven't looked into Sergey's function filtering patch yet.
Thanks for your comments.
Catalin Marinas (4):
kmemleak: Slightly change the policy on newly allocated objects
kmemleak: Do not trigger a scan when reading the debug/kmemleak file
kmemleak: Simplify the reports logged by the scanning thread
kmemleak: Enable task stacks scanning by default
