change kmemleak report format: from: " backtrace:" to: " backtrace (ck <cksum>):" The <cksum> allows a user to see recurring backtraces without detailed/careful reading of multiline backtraces. So after cycling kmemleak-test a few times, I know some leaks are repeating. bash-5.2# grep backtrace /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak | wc 62 186 1792 bash-5.2# grep backtrace /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak | sort -u | wc 37 111 1067 Signed-off-by: Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@xxxxxxxxx> --- mm/kmemleak.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/mm/kmemleak.c b/mm/kmemleak.c index f025c7bc845b..2d1dfed4293d 100644 --- a/mm/kmemleak.c +++ b/mm/kmemleak.c @@ -362,7 +362,7 @@ static void print_unreferenced(struct seq_file *seq, warn_or_seq_printf(seq, " comm \"%s\", pid %d, jiffies %lu\n", object->comm, object->pid, object->jiffies); hex_dump_object(seq, object); - warn_or_seq_printf(seq, " backtrace:\n"); + warn_or_seq_printf(seq, " backtrace (ck %u):\n", object->checksum); for (i = 0; i < nr_entries; i++) { void *ptr = (void *)entries[i]; -- 2.40.0
