Hi folks,
When I create some big file (i.e. dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/test/big_file
bs=1024k count=10240, then run sync, umount) with kmemleak enabled,
kmemleak may report some memory leak occasionally. I would say it
happens randomly. Please see the below log:
unreferenced object 0x99249e70 (size 176):
comm "kworker/u4:2", pid 2872, jiffies 1263855 (age 435.790s)

Not sure if this is a real memory leak or false positive.
Thanks,
