When the user does: echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online kmemleak reports: kmemleak: 7 new suspected memory leaks (see /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak) One of the leaks is from xen/time: unreferenced object 0xffff88003fa51280 (size 32): comm "swapper/0", pid 1, jiffies 4294667339 (age 1027.789s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 74 69 6d 65 72 31 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 timer1.......... 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ backtrace: [] kmemleak_alloc+0x21/0x50 [] __kmalloc_track_caller+0xec/0x2a0 [] kvasprintf+0x5b/0x90 [] kasprintf+0x38/0x40 [] xen_setup_timer+0x51/0xf0 [] xen_cpu_up+0x5f/0x3e8 [] _cpu_up+0xd1/0x14b [] cpu_up+0xd9/0xec [] smp_init+0x4b/0xa3 [] kernel_init_freeable+0xdb/0x1e6 [] kernel_init+0x9/0xf0 [] ret_from_fork+0x7c/0xb0 [] 0xffffffffffffffff This patch fixes it by stashing away the 'name' in the per-cpu data structure and freeing it when offlining the CPU.
