Having kmemleak turned on at least in rawhide is a good thing. As for a released kernel, I'd agree that the kthread Catalin uses probably affects battery life. Of course you could disable it, but I suppose you mentioned this because of the default - hence, copying fedora-kernel so that someone can actually answer your question.

In fact, the code isn't even present as an option there. (It's a post 2.6.30 feature) In rawhide, it was switched on for about a week a month or so back, and turned off because of the number of false positives being too high to make it useful. It might come back on for a short time periodically in rawhide, but generally, it's off.

Annoying kmemleak scans
Hello. Starting with F11 kmemleak is part of the kernel. It is quite annoying when every couple of minutes kmemleak starts to scan for memeleak within the kernel. I do not see any point in doing this on desktop machines, so is there a chance of disabling it by default? It eats quite much of battery when running F11 on a laptop. - fabian -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
