/sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak file. The following parameters are supported:
off - disable kmemleak (irreversible)
- stack=on - enable the task stacks scanning
+ stack=on - enable the task stacks scanning (default)
stack=off - disable the tasks stacks scanning
- scan=on - start the automatic memory scanning thread
+ scan=on - start the automatic memory scanning thread (default)
scan=off - stop the automatic memory scanning thread
- scan=<secs> - set the automatic memory scanning period in seconds (0
- to disable it)
+ scan=<secs> - set the automatic memory scanning period in seconds
+ (default 600, 0 to stop the automatic scanning)
Kmemleak can also be disabled at boot-time by passing "kmemleak=off" on
the kernel command line.
