[PATCH 03/15] kmemleak: Add the slab memory allocation/freeing hooks

From: Catalin Marinas
Date: Wed Dec 10 2008 - 13:27:49 EST


This patch adds the callbacks to memleak_(alloc|free) functions from the
slab allocator. The patch also adds the SLAB_NOLEAKTRACE flag to avoid
recursive calls to kmemleak when it allocates its own data structures.
