This is interesting. Is it too large?

Looking at the code, I don't think it is too large. Anyway, it is just
a temporary false positive as it seems to only be present in some of

Thanks, but some of them look like real leaks :-) - delayacct_tsk_init
- I'll post a separate e-mail for this.

Have you seen any crashes or lockdep reports with the latest kmemleak patches?
