In this case we can leave it at the depth of IPMR code + the caller, so:

[    1.534758]  ? ipmr_get_table+0x3c/0x70
[    1.535430]  ? ipmr_new_table+0x1c/0x60
[    1.536173]  ? ipmr_net_init+0x7b/0x170
[    1.536923]  ? register_pernet_subsys+0xd/0x30

This makes it clear that the problem happens at net namespace init.

Thanks!
