+         Say Y here if you want to enable the memory leak
+         detector. The memory allocation/freeing is traced in a way
+         similar to the Boehm's conservative garbage collector, the
+         difference being that the orphan objects are not freed but
+         only shown in /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak. Enabling this
+         feature will introduce an overhead to memory
+         allocations. See Documentation/kmemleak.txt for more
+         details.

+         In order to access the kmemleak file, debugfs needs to be
+         mounted (usually at /sys/kernel/debug).
