The 2.6.37-rc2 .config 

Few days ago, I saw following lines present in /var/log/messages on my Gentoo:

 Oct 31 00:02:03 myhost kernel: [67582.792294] kmemleak: 1 new suspected memory
leaks (see /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak)
Oct 31 09:32:48 myhost kernel: [105428.012364] kmemleak: 4 new suspected memory

Oct 31 15:23:19 myhost kernel: [126459.364451] kmemleak: 3 new suspected memory
leaks (see /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak)

while I used gentoo-sources that are patched, I asked for help on Gentoo bugzilla and after few steps was advised to try also 2.6.37-rc2 vanilla kernel. While the unpatched version produced the errors too, I decided to report the bug also here.

All the details and files including kernel configs, contents of /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak and frequency of error messages are on: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=343627

I attach also .config used to build 2.6.37-rc2
