Hi Slava,

You are right, it fixes the issue. I missed that patchset: it was not
sent to syzbot, so it is not listed on the syzbot page, and that was
where I looked for earlier fixes. Sorry for the noise.
To be sure, I applied ed8b389cf5e1 ("hfsplus: fix B-tree node leak on
hfs_btree_open() error path") from your for-next branch on top of
next-20261023 and ran the syzbot C reproducer in QEMU (x86_64, kmemleak):
next-20261023: leak reported in 1 of 1 runs
next-20261023 + ed8b389cf5e1: no leak in 3 of 3 runs, two of which
ran with slub_debug=FZPU
Please drop my patch.
That commit has no Reported-by or Closes tag, so syzbot will keep this
report open. If you can still amend it, could you add these?

Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=98547b0428b6a6a3467c
Otherwise I can send a "#syz fix:" command once the commit is in
linux-next.
