Hi,

On Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, with the torvalds tree kernel vanilla v6.8-11167-g4438a810f396,
there is like 660K memory leaks sized 2048 bytes (1.35 GB)

unreferenced object 0xffff919c43c7c800 (size 2048):
unreferenced object 0xffff919c43c78000 (size 2048):
unreferenced object 0xffff919c43c79800 (size 2048):
root@defiant:/home/marvin/linux/kernel/linux_torvalds# grep size ~marvin/linux/kernel_bugs/v6.8-11167/kmemleak.log | wc -l
663265
root@defiant:/home/marvin/linux/kernel/linux_torvalds#

Please find the .config attached.

The kmemleak output is:
