[PATCH v3 1/4] kmemleak: free internal objects only if there're no leaks to be reported

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

 



Currently if you disabling kmemleak after stopping kmemleak thread,
kmemleak objects will be freed and so you won't be able to check
previously reported leaks.

With this patch, kmemleak objects won't be freed if there're leaks
that can be reported.
