How can I check the memory consume of kernel modules,some tools like top?
 
I've added a tcp_hook module(just like the pf)to freebsd kernel,but something goes wrong with it.The kernel always crashed one or two hours later.Backtrace the core dumped file and some messages as follow:

It seems that no more free memory to malloc, how can I track the memory allocation?Then to identify whether this is a memory leak caused by my code or some other reasons.

Btw,I have modified my code into snort and it runs smoothly for quite a long time,the memory usage keeps a stable value.So it doesn't seems to have memory leak.

3ks for any suggestions!
