Commit 7b587e1a5a6c ("NFS: use locks_copy_lock() to copy locks.") changed the lock copying from memcpy() to the dedicated locks_copy_lock() function. The latter correctly increments the nfs4_lock_state.ls_count via nfs4_fl_copy_lock(), however, this refcount has already been incremented in the nfs4_alloc_{lock,unlock}data(). Kmemleak subsequently reports an unreferenced nfs4_lock_state object as below (arm64 platform): unreferenced object 0xffff8000fce0b000 (size 256): comm "systemd-sysuser", pid 1608, jiffies 4294892825 (age 32.348s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 20 57 4c fb 00 80 ff ff 20 57 4c fb 00 80 ff ff WL.....
