Then, faddr2line pointed out this line,
/* * This memory isn't freed when the device is put, * I don't have a nice idea for that though. Conceptually * dma_mask in struct device should not be a pointer. * See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.pci/9081 */ pdev->dev.dma_mask = kmalloc(sizeof(*pdev->dev.dma_mask), GFP_KERNEL);
Since this leak has existed for more than 8 years and it does not reference other parts of the memory, let kmemleak ignore it, so users don't need to waste time reporting this in the future.
