Hi,

I have compiled the kernel with below given modification in .config

CONFIG_CMDLINE="uhash_entries=256"

After booting with the new kernel, the "kmemleak" no longer complains
about the "udp_table_init".
However it do report another possible leak :)

debian-mips:~# cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak

Hmm, then MIPS kmemleak port might have a problem with percpu data ?

fcp->hash_table = kzalloc_node(sz, GFP_KERNEL, cpu_to_node(cpu));

fcp is a per cpu "struct flow_cache_percpu"
I completely agree with Daniel. Shall we move on and integrate the
kmemleak support for MIPS ?
