Important detail: I decided to try kmemleak after suspecting a leak because 'echo 3>/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches' left about 90MB out of 118MB of ext4_inode_cache, and I found no way to get rid of that (via remounting filesystems for example). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
