I tried to change the HEAP_SIZE in ./<kernel>/arch/arm/boot/compressed/misc.c from 2000 to 400 but it was of no use. I still got the out of memory error and subsequently killing of a required process. Is there any way to automate the process of checking the memory leaks in the application, or in the drivers?
