Tracing memory leaks (slabs) in 2.6.9+ kernels?

Hi,

I am having a problem with memory leaking on a patched kernel. In order to pinpoint the leak, I would like to try to trace the allocation points for the memory.

I have found some vague references to patches that allow the user to dump the caller address for slab allocations, but I cannot find the patch itself.

Can anybody please point me in the right direction - either for that patch, or any other way to track down leaking slabs?

Thank you,
Justin Schoeman
