Description Sune Kloppenborg Jeppesen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-11-14 14:03:29 UTC 
Not sure we're affected by this one: 
 
  [PATCH] VFS: Fix memory leak with file leases  
    
   The patch  
    
http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/diffs/fs/locks.c@1.70??nav=index.html  
   introduced a pretty nasty memory leak in the lease code. When freeing  
   the lease, the code in locks_delete_lock() will correctly clean up  
   the fasync queue, but when we return to fcntl_setlease(), the freed  
   fasync entry will be reinstated.

Don't think this affects us; that's been in for a long time (2.6.11, if not
further).
