Lukas,

Thanks for the report. I am trying to reproduce this issue and have not
been able to trigger a memory leak. So far I have built using the
defconfig from arch/x86/configs/x86_64_defconfig and run the C code from
the end of your report above. It also produces some output that is not
captured in your report. Are you sure it's the defconfig being used?

------
# ./repro
write to /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_check_interval_secs failed: No such
file or directory
write to /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_kallsyms failed: No such file or
directory
write to /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_harden failed: No such file or
directory
write to /proc/sys/kernel/softlockup_all_cpu_backtrace failed: No such
file or directory
------

Note your output does not mention softlockup or hung_task issues. This
is on 6.0.0-rc3-00207-g524e00b36e8c. It is also worth noting that the
resulting kernel does not have /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak.

I have also tested your reproducer with my own config which does have
the kmemleak debug file, but it did not trigger a memory leak either. I
suspect I am missing a config option? Are you using gcc or clang?

Thanks,
Liam
