I don't know of any leak. Those things are counted and checked at
module unload time. If you unload the ipmi_msghandler module, it should
give you some idea if there's a leak.

No such luck -it prints nothing.
Lots of memory free after unloading though...
I'm not worried about ipmi_msghandler freeing pointers, passed to it by
ipmi_smi_msg_received(), when it's unloaded; I'm wondering what frees this
memory during normal opreation.
Where do msgs go that are passed in by ipmi_smi_msg_received() ?

All,
I have a kernel module that is calling into OpenIPMI, and memory is
being consumed (kmalloc'd) without being freed.
I'm wondering what API, if any, might be involved in freeing the memory
being allocated.
Without going into too much detail, we do:
struct ipmi_smi_msg smiMsg = ipmi_alloc_smi_msg();
.. fill in some stuff in smiMsg...
ipmi_smi_msg_received(smi_intf, smiMsg);
where smi_intf was gotten from ipmi_register_smi(...).
The only user space programs we're running are hpiel/hpigetevents, and
these
don't seem to free the memory allocated by ipmi_alloc_smi_msg().
Is there a userspace API that consumes the memory kmalloc'd by
ipmi_alloc_smi_msg/ipmi_smi_msg_received ?
I don't know what ipmi_smi_msg_received does, so I'm lost..
Thanks in advance for any help or pointers...
Using OpenIpmi 1.3.18, kernel 2.6.10.
