3.18.37 broken / memory leak

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

 



Hello

first. the latest kernel patch 3.18.37 contains a unresolved symbol in the mips tree

this one is wrong and must be removed. reserve_bootmem_region does not exist in this kernel

--- a/arch/mips/kernel/setup.c
+++ b/arch/mips/kernel/setup.c
@@ -685,6 +685,9 @@ static void __init arch_mem_init(char **cmdline_p)
        for_each_memblock(reserved, reg)
                if (reg->size != 0)
reserve_bootmem(reg->base, reg->size, BOOTMEM_DEFAULT);
+
+       reserve_bootmem_region(__pa_symbol(&__nosave_begin),
+ __pa_symbol(&__nosave_end)); /* Reserve for hibernation */


second. the kernel contains a big memory leak likelly within the network stack. each tcp packet consumes memory. on a embedded system a small scp transfer causes a oom after seconds.
and reboots the system since init was killed.
please revoke the patch until these issues are resolved.
(tested on ar71xx based systems)
