Any news?  If you don't have the time to test, could you please share
kernel config or at least some details like CONFIG_PREEMPT settings, if
this uses kasan, kcsan etc.?

I'm asking because I still cannot reproduce any hangs, so I assume that
there is some significant difference between our setups.
While I could ask for a blank revert, that would get back the bug I
was trying to fix and I dislike doing so without understanding the cause
of the new bug first.

Are you using anything more excotic, say, conntrackd, conntrack
helpers, synproxy, or anything like that?

I was able to produce a memory leak by running conntrack_resize.sh
selftest in a loop, but its unrelated bug in ctnetlink.

I will submit a patch later after some more testing.
