(I see you corrected the LKML address; I replied to your early patch)

You could say "just count the last request" since kmemleak_disable()
would set kmemleak_error to 1 and you never get to this block again.

s/warning/warn/

But I don't think this comment is needed, just add it to the commit log.

Otherwise, my ack still stands:
