Stable kernels 3.4.9 and 3.5.2Stable kernels 3.4.9 and 3.5.2Posted Aug 16, 2012 19:25 UTC (Thu) by henri4 (guest, #35556)Parent article: Stable kernels 3.4.9 and 3.5.2
Very strange that configuring ffmpeg with 3.5.2 gives a halfway buggy config.h when it is full correct with 3.2.27... a very bad memory leak?
This nasty bug appeared with 3.3.x.

It seems unlikely that's a kernel issue. But the best way to demonstrate that it is would be to run a "git bisect" and find the specific commit that causes the problem.

Your are fully right, the bug appears as a result of a copy to the config.h and might be the result of somewhere else (libc ?)... but when a problem appears when changing just one thing (i.e. the kernel version), your are liable to tell that to a kernel maintainer.

I agree. If you can reproduce it just by changing the kernel, then going through a bisection could be really helpful in letting us track down the real problem. They're not too hard to do once you get set up for building and booting kernels, it's just a little time consuming. Or, if you could provide something like a virtual machine image that demonstrates the problem, I'd be glad to do the bisection for you.
