You can try kernel config option "CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK". https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.10/dev-tools/kmemleak.html On Tue, Dec 18, 2018 at 1:14 PM Mulyadi Santosa <mulyadi.santosa@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi everyone,
When using slabtop to display the cache size growing, I see that kmalloc-1024 and kmalloc-256 are increasing about 200MB after 1 hour. Is there any way to detect which kernel components cause this slab increase?
Thanks a lot, Brs, Naruto
Hello Naruto
I think you can do it by instrumenting call to kmalloc(). These days, eBPF is the hot stuff to try for this matter. See if it fits yours too.
