From ab0155a22ad5bda3a6dbfbbecc416cbe92619755 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jason Baron Date: Mon, 19 Jul 2010 11:54:17 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] kmemleak: Introduce a default off mode for kmemleak Introduce a new DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_DEFAULT_OFF config parameter that allows kmemleak to be disabled by default, but enabled on the command line via: kmemleak=on. Although a reboot is required to turn it on, its still useful to not require a re-compile.
