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.
