Hello everyone,
I am experiencing a problem where the system reboot due low memory conditions and looking at the /proc/slabinfo
I am able to see that a lot of memory is being used by the size-1024 cache name which reports a high number of active objects, then in order to debug this situation I tried to compile with :
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB=y CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB_LEAK=y
Now I am able to cat the /proc/slab_allocators leaf but that name, nor either all the size-* - are present in that output, I guess because that memory is used by the kmalloc() functions.
Than how can I trace who allocates all that memory in my system ?
Best Regards, Pietro
