In tomorrows rawhide kernel, I've enabled a debugging option called kmemleak. As the name suggests, this tracks memory allocations, and prints backtraces in cases where the memory is believed to be lost.
As a general comment, I see many backtraces when I run the libguestfs testsuite. Most are harmless, in that they don't appear to affect the running of programs, so I don't report them. But is it helpful to report these? If so how - open BZs for each variation that I see?
Everything I've seen so far looks like a false positive. The next build should reduce the number of these (hopefully dramatically).
So for now, just hold off on filing anything.
