I just got a patch today:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/5/10/607
which could be related. If Rusty doesn't push it I'll do. But please let
me know if it does not solve the problem.
This patch fixes my problem. Now I can see the next new problem reported by
kmemleak. :)
Thanks to you and Jianpeng Ma,

It goes away on my testing too. So you can add:
Tested-by: Steven Rostedt <rost...@goodmis.org>
But we are not out of the woods yet. I'm also getting these:

Where it points to the allocation in jump_label_add_module() where it
allocates the jlm. And this does get freed in jump_label_del_module(). I
put in printks in add_module():
printk("alloc %p (%s)\n", jlm, mod->name);
and in del_module:
printk("free %p (%s)\n", jlm, mod->name);
And got this:
[ 29.917577] alloc ffff88007800efc0 (kvm_intel)
And removing kvm_intel, I got:
[ 364.965916] free ffff88007800efc0 (kvm_intel)
Thus it seems to be yet another false positive :-(
I do not see that particular one; however, I see 4 instances of
unreferenced object 0xffff8800b7979750 (size 8):

All four were allocated early in the bootup, and are the only leaks reported in
my system. I have not yet tested to see if they are false.
