Subject: [PATCH 6.12] NFSD: net ref data still needs to be freed even if net hasn't startup
Date: Mon, 12 Jan 2026 18:58:13 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260112185813.34595-1-wanjay@amazon.com> (raw)
From: Edward Adam Davis <eadavis@qq.com>
When the NFSD instance doesn't to startup, the net ref data memory is
not properly reclaimed, which triggers the memory leak issue reported
by syzbot [1].
To avoid the problem reported in [1], the net ref data memory reclamation
action is moved outside of nfsd_net_up when the net is shutdown.
