Jeremy and I were brainstorming this yesterday and couple of things
that we thought might be interesting are to:

 - turn on CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
 - turn on CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST
 - turn on CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK
 - turn on CONFIG_JBD_DEBUG, CONFIG_JBD2_DEBUG
 - turn on CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON

And see if anything starts coming out.

Thanks a lot for both of you spending time to do so.  It isn't easy as I believe this is something related to kernel 2.6.32.x and just wondering is there something related to *sched_domains?  I read recent mails in LKML about rebuild_sched_domains consider dangerous issues... and that is about recent kernels but won't know what recent kernels that refer to... ...

I will do those config changes in one of my test server when time permit and will post results/output here when done.
 

Also looking in the changes for the drivers/dm/ between 2.6.32 and 2.6.38 and
see if we just hitting some memory leak bugs that hadn't been back-ported.

(Still busy with the upstream effort, can't work on this).

You mean 2.6.39 merge window?

Once again, thanks.

Kindest regards,
Giam Teck Choon
