However, that's a corner case, I don't think you ran into it. Since you
also didn't note any warnings, we can also discount a few cases that
would be code bugs and would leak.

I wonder if this is related to the first warning? The "new" object in
the first block would typically take ownership of the "ies" object.

Although I do not get any warnings, your patch and mine have made the kmemleak
scan now come up clean. I will continue testing and let you know.

Ok. I guess I'll apply my patch, and we can see about yours later (since
it's only a false positive, while mine actually fixes a potential leak).

Were you reconfiguring your AP's SSID by any chance?

No. All AP parameters were fixed - I get in trouble with my spouse whenever anything changes on the APs.
