Subject: how to find memory leak in the kernel?

Hi,

We are suspecting that our code in kernel is leaking memory.
Please tell me some of available tools which I can use for
finding the memory leak in kernel.

Thanks a lot.

Sanjay

There is a kernel profiler, have you checked FM for that? I've seen the
link there before. Also, is electric fence possible, or gprof? Never
tried them for kernel stuff...just a thought.
