Description Andrea Arcangeli 2010-12-01 18:26:37 EST
If there's a memcg failure a minor memleak could happen in khugepaged. This was found only by code review of the upstream submit of THP.

Comment 5 Aristeu Rozanski 2010-12-16 15:54:01 EST
Patch(es) available on kernel-2.6.32-92.el6
Comment 9 Caspar Zhang 2011-05-01 07:25:32 EDT
kmemleak enabled to catch the leak, but failed when running memcg on both old and new kernels. 

looked into the patch, the patch in comment 6 was applied (from changelog), it was changed by the patch in bug 647849. But it should still valid since it only changed the label names.
