Mika, as you fixed the other leak, any idea, how to continue from the

There are probably better ways for doing this but you can use objdump
for example:

$ objdump -l --prefix-addresses -j .text --disassemble=xhci_mem_init drivers/usb/host/xhci-hcd.ko

then find the offset xhci_mem_init+0xcfa. It should show you the line
numbers as well if you have compiled your kernel with debug info. This
should be close to the line that allocated the memory that was leaked.


Paul, it possible that your xhci controller has several
supported protocol extended capabilities for usb 3 ports, each
with their own custom protocol speed ID table.

xhci driver assumes there is only one custome PSI table per roothub,
and we will end up allocating the second PSI table on top of the first,
leaking the first.

Could you boot with xhci dynamic debug enabled, and show dmesg after boot, add:
xhci_hcd.dyndbg=+p
to you kernel cmdline.

Or as an alternative, show output of:

sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/usb/xhci/*/reg-ext-protocol*
