Hello there,

I have enabled CONFIG_KMEMLEAK and I am finding some memory leakage apparently caused by wpa_supplicant

unreferenced object 0xcbdaf540 (size 64):
  comm "wpa_supplicant", pid 4035, jiffies 4294959545 (age 4171.613s)
  hex dump (first 32 bytes):
[ESSID STRING]
  backtrace:
    [<ffffffff>] 0xffffffff
unreferenced object 0xd1684e80 (size 64):
  comm "wpa_supplicant", pid 4035, jiffies 3381 (age 4160.481s)
  hex dump (first 32 bytes):
[ESSID STRING]
  backtrace:
    [<ffffffff>] 0xffffffff
unreferenced object 0xd1676c40 (size 64):
  comm "wpa_supplicant", pid 4941, jiffies 1420533 (age 2743.345s)
  hex dump (first 32 bytes):
[ESSID STRING]
  backtrace:
    [<ffffffff>] 0xffffffff
unreferenced object 0xd150fac0 (size 64):
  comm "wpa_supplicant", pid 5084, jiffies 1481828 (age 2682.050s)
  hex dump (first 32 bytes):
[ESSID STRING]
  backtrace:
    [<ffffffff>] 0xffffffff

The "[ESSID STRING]" was simply the 0-padded ESSID which I am connecting to; these leaks happen only the 1st time I start wpa_supplicant.

Is this a known memory leak bug?

Best regards,
