| |
Hi!
I found no corresponding kfree() to the kmalloc in aux_open in the PS/2 mouse driver in drivers/char/pc_keyb.c. I suggest adding a kfree(queue) at the end of the release_aux function. That's more than 2K of kernel memory, which is wasted every time the X server is restarted (ok, doesn't happen so often, but with many days uptime on a machine with many short-time users...).
Happens with all recent kernels (I don't have old kernels around ;-). --- Sent through Global Message Exchange - http://www.gmx.net
