Re: çå: problem with kmemleak

[ttlxzz ccc]

Hi Catalin and Wang :)

I'm very glad to find the reason of this problem. It's just because
the CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not set :).

And in dump_stack() which is defined in arch/x86/kernel/dumpstack.c,
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER control whether to get the bp.

Now I enable CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER and I can see the full backtrace. :)

Thank you very much for Catalin and Wang:).
