Dear Pavel, dear Jens,
In our syzkaller instance running on linux-next,
https://elisa-builder-00.iol.unh.edu/syzkaller-next/, we have been
observing a memory leak in copy_process for quite some time.
It is reproducible on v5.15-rc1, v5.15, v5.16-rc8 and next-20220106:
https://elisa-builder-00.iol.unh.edu/syzkaller-next/crash?id=1169da08a3e72457301987b70bcce62f0f49bdbb
So, it is in mainline, was released and has not been fixed in linux-next yet.
As syzkaller also provides a reproducer, we bisected this memory leak
to be introduced with commit e98e49b2bbf7 ("io_uring: extend task put
optimisations").
Could you please have a look how your commit introduces this memory
leak? We will gladly support testing your fix in case help is needed.
Thanks for letting know
I think I know what it is, will get back later.
