Hi,
I have prepared the combined patch for kmemleak porting to MIPS. After
applying the patch and enabling the kmemleak in Kernel, I can see one
kernel memleak reported during booting itself:
..
..
TCP cubic registered
NET: Registered protocol family 17
NET: Registered protocol family 15
kmemleak: Kernel memory leak detector initialized
rtc_cmos rtc_cmos: setting system clock to 2011-03-29 18:20:41 UTC (1301422841)
kmemleak: Automatic memory scanning thread started
EXT3-fs: barriers not enabled
kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds
EXT3-fs (hda1): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode
VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly on device 3:1.
Freeing prom memory: 956k freed
Freeing unused kernel memory: 244k freed
modprobe: FATAL: Could not load
/lib/modules/2.6.38-08826-g1788c20-dirty/modules.dep: No such file or
directory
INIT: version 2.86 booting
Starting the hotplug events dispatcher: udevdudevd (863):
/proc/863/oom_adj is deprecated, please use /proc/863/oom_score_adj
instead.
.
Synthesizing the initial hotplug events...done.
Waiting for /dev to be fully populated...kmemleak: 1 new suspected
memory leaks (see /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak)
....

The standard kmemleak test case is behaving as expected. Based on
this, I think, we can say that the kmemleak support for MIPS is
working.
Please let me know your comments.
