I just had enough and needed to find out the cause for my lagging system. I finally upgraded from 4.18.16 to 4.19.13 and enabled kmemleak to hunt for the culprit. I don't think a day had elapsed before kmemleak crashed and disabled itself. I'm thinking my USB TV tuner or Intel USB controller may have been too much for kmemleak given it occured in the middle of one of the "unknown event type 37" log spams.
