+Testing specific sections with kmemleak
+---------------------------------------
+
+Upon initial bootup your /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak output page may be
+quite extensive. This can also be the case if you have very buggy code
+when doing development. To work around these situations you can use the
+'clear' command to clear all reported unreferenced objects from the
+/sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak output. By issuing a 'scan' after a 'clear'
+you can find new unreferenced objects; this should help with testing
+specific sections of code.
+
+To test a critical section on demand with a clean kmemleak do:
+
+  # echo clear > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
+  ... test your kernel or modules ...
+  # echo scan > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
+
+Then as usual to get your report with:
+
+  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
+
