Re: [RFC] make kmemleak scan __ro_after_init section (was: Re: [PATCH 0/5] genetlink improvements)

Hi,

Sorry for not chipping in earlier - LPC is taking my time.

Looks like we are missing a kfree(family->attrbuf); on error
path, but it is not related to Johannes' recent patches.

Actually, I think it *is* related to my patch - I inserted the code
there in the wrong place or so. I'll find a fix for that when I'm back
home, or you (Cong) can submit yours. It wasn't likely that this was
the problem though, since that's just an error path that should never
happen (we have <30 genl families, and a 16-bit space for their IDs)

I realized that kmemleak is not scanning the __ro_after_init
section...
Following patch solves the false positives but I wonder if it's the
right/acceptable solution.

Hah, makes sense to me, but I guess we really want Catalin to comment
:)
