Subject: kmemleak not tainted

Hello,

static struct kmemleak_object *find_and_get_object(unsigned long ptr, int alias)
{
	unsigned long flags;
	struct kmemleak_object *object = NULL;

	rcu_read_lock();
	read_lock_irqsave(&kmemleak_lock, flags);
	if (ptr >= min_addr && ptr < max_addr)
		object = lookup_object(ptr, alias);
>>	read_unlock_irqrestore(&kmemleak_lock, flags);

	/* check whether the object is still available */
	if (object && !get_object(object))
		object = NULL;
	rcu_read_unlock();

	return object;
}

I'm not sure where this is kmemleak's problem, since with 31 I see lots of 'not tainted' reports on my laptop.
