Under existing the kmemleak messeages, the fsstress test has been running over 12 hours. For sure now, I quit the test and umount the file system, which drops the whole page caches used by f2fs. Then do, echo scan > $DEBUGFS/kmemleak again, but there still exist a bunch of leak messages. The oldest one is: unreferenced object 0xffff88007b167478 (size 576): comm "fsstress", pid 1636, jiffies 4294945289 (age 164639.728s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 01 00 00 00 81 ff ff ff 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 50 89 34 81 ff ff ff ff 90 74 16 7b 00 88 ff ff P.4......t.{.... backtrace: [snip] > > > It might also be that one of the CPUs is stuck (e.g., spinning with > > interrupts disabled), which would prevent the grace period from > > completing, in turn preventing any memory waiting for that grace period > > from being freed. > > We should get some kernel warning if it's stuck for too long but, again, > Jaegeuk can confirm. I haven't managed to reproduce this on ARM systems. There are no kernel warnings, but only kmemleak messages.
