[PATCH 2.6.17-rc5 7/8] Remove some of the kmemleak false positives

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Catalin Marinas <[email protected]>

There are allocations for which the main pointer cannot be found but they
are not memory leaks. This patch fixes some of them.
