Say Y here if you want to enable the memory leak
|
||||
detector. The memory allocation/freeing is traced in a way
|
||||
similar to the Boehm's conservative garbage collector, the
|
||||
difference being that the orphan objects are not freed but
|
||||
only shown in /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak. Enabling this
|
||||
feature will introduce an overhead to memory
|
||||
allocations. See Documentation/kmemleak.txt for more
|
||||
details.
|
||||
|
||||
In order to access the kmemleak file, debugfs needs to be
|
||||
mounted (usually at /sys/kernel/debug).
