Subject: [PATCH 0/5] kmemleak: few small cleanups and clear command support

Few patches after a quick review of kmemleak, adds clear command support
and fixes the sparse warnings. The only sparse warning I couldn't address
was this sparse warning which seems to be a false positive due to the way
the seq ops are used:

  CHECK   mm/kmemleak.c
mm/kmemleak.c:1207:13: warning: context imbalance in 'kmemleak_seq_start' - different lock contexts for basic block
mm/kmemleak.c:1261:17: warning: context imbalance in 'kmemleak_seq_stop' - unexpected unlock

I haven't tested this, nor do I know if the clear stuff will work, if you
can think of a better way please let me know. I'll test later when I get home.

Also, not sure who these patches go through, if welcomed.

Luis R. Rodriguez (5):
  kmemleak: use bool for true/false questions
  kmemleak: add clear command support
  kmemleak: move common painting code together
  kmemleak: fix sparse warning over overshadowed flags
  kmemleak: fix sparse warning for static declarations
