How much memory are we talking about?

Hmm. I don't know correctly.

Here is kernel message of my system. The message is shown by mem_init().


Do you have an estimate on the amount of struct resource memory that will
be leaked if entire pages won't be freed?


I roughly estimated amount of memory which will leak as follows:

$ wc -l /proc/ioports
92 /proc/ioports
$ wc -l /proc/iomem
226 /proc/iomem

In my system, number of resource structures are 318 and
sizeof(struct resource) is 56 bytes. So even if all resource
structures are leaked, the size is 17 KiB.

Thanks,
Yasuaki Ishimatsu
