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. Best regards, Lukas
