From 12de38b186c2af97bf0b4a1f907f766df46b1def Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Catalin Marinas Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2009 17:13:55 +0100 Subject: kmemleak: Inform kmemleak about pid_hash Kmemleak does not track alloc_bootmem calls but the pid_hash allocated in pidhash_init() would need to be scanned as it contains pointers to struct pid objects.
