Hi, Greg!
Commit ce2c9cb0259acd2aed184499ebe41ab00da13b25 aka "kobject: remove the static array for the name" introduced memory leak of a module name after modprobe/rmmod. Apparently for modules ->release callback is NULL.
kobject_cleanup: ->release = 00000000, name = 'foo_sysctl' Pid: 1927, comm: rmmod Not tainted 2.6.24-rc3-e1cca7e8d484390169777b423a7fe46c7021fec1 #5 [<c10d4a58>] kobject_cleanup+0xb8/0xc0 [<c10d4a60>] kobject_release+0x0/0x10 [<c10d587b>] kref_put+0x2b/0xa0 [<c11dbe85>] _spin_unlock+0x25/0x40 [<c1045b78>] free_module+0x78/0xd0 [<c104773f>] sys_delete_module+0x12f/0x1a0
