2.4.13 memory leaks
by Abaddon - Dec 7th 2001 14:53:04
havnt had the time to track down the exact part of the code, but (at least
on my configuration) there is a huge memory leak, it takes about 8k per
second...same config minus the patch and no leak, im fairly sure this is a
problem with this patch...
if you're using this patch just watch out...ill see if i cant track down
this bug when i get some time....

at the time of this posting 2.4.16 is the current
kernel and ext3 is in the kernel src now without
a patch. I haven't heard of massive mem leaks
with the -current. I
know people have their
various reasons for running old kernels but
2.4.13
wouldn't seem like a popular choice even so.

it is entirely possible that the leaks are specific to 2.4.13 or to my
kernel config...but just the same there shouldnt be a leak at all, just
felt like warning anyone with similar setups as mine...
(i only installed the 2.4.13 kernel at the time because it was the only
2.4 kernel patch i could find for ext3, and i need 2.4 for a number of
reasons)
