[PATCH 07/14] kmemleak: Add kmemleak_alloc callback fromalloc_large_system_hash

From: Catalin Marinas
Date: Fri Dec 19 2008 - 13:16:29 EST


The alloc_large_system_hash function is called from various places in
the kernel and it contains pointers to other allocated structures. It
therefore needs to be traced by kmemleak.
