Hi,
I notice a regression report on Bugzilla [1]. Quoting from it:

> Memleak trace points to some syscall performed by systemd and none of our tests do anything more advanced with it than 'systemctl restart ovs-vswitchd'. Basically it is a setup with Fedora and an upstream kernel that executes bunch of network offload tests with Open vSwitch, iproute2 tc, Linux bridge, etc.

See Bugzilla for the full thread.
Anyway, I'm adding it to regzbot:
#regzbot introduced: 6faddda69f623d https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=218039
#regzbot title: stable offsets directory operation support triggers offset_ctx->xa memory leak
Thanks.
