From 4698c1f2bbe44ce852ef1a6716973c1f5401a4c4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Catalin Marinas Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2009 17:38:27 +0100 Subject: kmemleak: Do not trigger a scan when reading the debug/kmemleak file Since there is a kernel thread for automatically scanning the memory, it makes sense for the debug/kmemleak file to only show its findings. This patch also adds support for "echo scan > debug/kmemleak" to trigger an intermediate memory scan and eliminates the kmemleak_mutex (scan_mutex covers all the cases now).
