The best way is to read your code, and let others review your code. If the design is correct and simple, then it should be fairly obvious that there isn't any leak. > Could any body suggest me how to test the memory leakage in LKM? Catalin Marinas worked on a kernel leak detector a while ago, but as far as I know, it hasn't been included in the kernel. You can learn more about it at http://www.procode.org/kmemleak/ and http://lwn.net/Articles/187979/. However, by reading lib/Kconfig.debug, I just discovered the CONFIG_SLAB_LEAK option, which seems to indicate that there is some sort of leak detector for the slab allocator, but I've never tried it.
