Hi, After 6.16, there has been lots of kmemleak splash like for instance:
cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak unreferenced object 0xffff888107f05800 (size 1024): comm "(udev-worker)", pid 1495, jiffies 4294719200 hex dump (first 32 bytes): d8 48 88 c1 ff ff ff ff 00 80 3e 00 00 00 00 00 .H........>..... 00 80 3e 00 00 00 00 00 00 14 00 00 00 00 00 00 ..>............. backtrace (crc adb46b12): __kmalloc_node_noprof+0x45c/0x600 vmw_surface_dirty_alloc+0xfb/0x270 [vmwgfx] vmw_gb_surface_define_internal.constprop.0+0xd0e/0x16c0 [vmwgfx] vmw_dumb_create+0x2e5/0xae0 [vmwgfx] drm_client_framebuffer_create+0x168/0x3a0 drm_fbdev_ttm_driver_fbdev_probe+0x1ef/0x660 [drm_ttm_helper] drm_fb_helper_single_fb_probe+0x1de/0x570 __drm_fb_helper_initial_config_and_unlock+0xb8/0x240 drm_fbdev_client_hotplug+0x164/0x1e0 drm_client_register+0x16a/0x240 drm_fbdev_client_setup+0x114/0x370 drm_client_setup+0x10c/0x160 vmw_probe+0x117/0x370 [vmwgfx] local_pci_probe+0xee/0x1a0 pci_call_probe+0x17d/0x4c0 pci_device_probe+0x177/0x2c0 It happens just booting up a graphical environment in a VM under vmware player or ESXi. I have bisected it to: 965544150d1cadf0e8f5bb6c13c19697e46e1429 is the first bad commit commit 965544150d1cadf0e8f5bb6c13c19697e46e1429 Author: Zack Rusin <[email protected]> Date: Fri Mar 7 07:57:38 2025 -0500 drm/vmwgfx: Refactor cursor handling And this seems to be present with 7.0-rc1 also. --Mika
