From: Catalin Marinas Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2009 13:29:15 +0000 (+0100) Subject: kmemleak: Dump object information on request X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=189d84ed54bbb05aac5b24d9d784d86c4d37f807;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git kmemleak: Dump object information on request By writing dump= to the kmemleak file, kmemleak will look up an object with that address and dump the information it has about it to syslog. This is useful in debugging memory leaks.
