Hello! Andrew, this is a patch from Alexey Kuznetsov for 2.6.16. I believe 2.6.17 still has this leak. ------------------------------------------------------------- 2.6.16 leaks like hell. While testing, I found massive leakage (reproduced in openvz) in: *filp *size-4096 And 1 object leaks in *size-32 *size-64 *size-128 It is the fix for the first one. filp leaks in the bowels of namei.c. Seems, size-4096 is file table leaking in expand_fdtables. I have no idea what are the rest and why they show only accompaniing another leaks. Some debugging structs?
