概要

The information in this article is useful when troubleshooting third-party paged pool and non-paged pool tags within Windows drivers identified as a potential memory leak source. The pool tags are identified using tools such as PoolMon, Debugging Tools for Windows, and pooltag.

Using the PoolMon utility to find a memory leak:

(Windows 2000/XP only) On Windows 2000 and Windows XP, you must first use GFlags to enable pool tagging. On later versions of Windows, pool tagging is always enabled. GFlags is included in Debugging Tools for Windows. Start GFlags, click the System Registry tab, select Enable Pool Tagging, and then click Apply. You must restart Windows for this setting to take effect. For more details, see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff549557%28v=vs.85%29.aspx.
Start PoolMon.
Choose the kind of pool to include:
- If you have determined that the leak is occurring in non-paged pool, press P once.
- If you have determined that the leak is occurring in paged pool, press P twice.
- If you do not know, do not press P and both kinds of pool are included.
Press B and sort the display by maximum byte use.
Start your test.
Take a screenshot and copy it to Notepad. Create one every 30 minutes. By comparing screenshots, determine which tag's bytes are increasing.

Using the WinDbg (Debugging Tools for Windows) utility to find a memory leak:

Download and install the Debugging Tools for Windows.
(Windows 2000/XP only) On Windows 2000 and Windows XP, you must first use GFlags to enable pool tagging. On later versions of Windows, pool tagging is always enabled. GFlags is included in Debugging Tools for Windows. Start GFlags, click the System Registry tab, select Enable Pool Tagging, and then click Apply. You must restart Windows for this setting to take effect. For more details, see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff549557%28v=vs.85%29.aspx.
Configure the system to generate a complete memory dump. For instructions to create a memory dump, see KB56023.
Wait for the low memory symptoms to occur: System unresponsive, applications failing or stuck, or Task Manager showing high kernel memory (paged or non-paged) use.
Crash the system manually to generate a complete memory dump. For instructions to force a system crash, see KB85853.
Submit the dump file to Technical Support for analysis.
To contact Technical Support, log on to the ServicePortal and go to the Create a Service Request page at https://support.mcafee.com/ServicePortal/faces/serviceRequests/createSR:
