Makes sense!
That means if I do kmalloc in a module and unload the module without kfree
then that memory is lost and ke

Thanks to all for their resonse!
Ok, just one thing -
When I do lsmod -
it shows the memory used by loaded LKMs. So if there is a leak in LKM1 then
after executing the function (which is doing kmalloc but forgetting to do
kfree) of LKM1, lsmod should report an increased memory usage by LKM1. Am I

The best way is to read your code, and let others review your code. If
the design is correct and simple, then

freeing it, it will be a memory leak...Am i right ?? .. Or the
kernel is intelligent enough to check and free those memory buffers
during unload of the module ?
Thanks in advance

Hard to say. You mean, i.e you did kmalloc() insid
