Hello all,
I instrumented yaffs2 code (picked from yaffs2 cvs on 5th Oct 2007) to find out
memory usage.
In yaffs_MknodObject( ) and yaffs_CheckObjectDetailsLoaded( ), if we
get symbolic link
we call yaffs_CloneString( ) which kmallocs some memory.
I have a doubt as to where this memory is being freed.
Can somebody help ?
Thanks
Rohit
