I just started using kmemleak and notice that it reports false positives
for several __init functions that call register_sysctl_paths(). The fix
you want is:

{
	sturct ctl_table_header *head;

	head = register_sysctl_paths(ipv4_path, ipv4_skeleton);
	BUG_ON(!head);
	kmemleak_ignore(head);


No need to waste a pointer just to keep the reference around for
kmemleak.

Thanks Steven, yes it's a nice solution for false positive ones.

That looks a lot saner than the other suggestions, indeed.

Yes, however now I'm not sure that these are real false positive ones,
please check my other email, and someone who knows the code should take a
closer look.

Thank.
