Hmm. The memory should be freed when the corresponding namespace exits.
I see retire_mq_sysctls is being called to free this memory.  Alex do
you see any leaks when you read that code?

So it looks like either someone broke this in linux-next or there
is a bug in the memory leak detector, or something truly strange
like a memory stop is going on.

I don't see any changes to the ipc subdirectory since v5.19-rc1 in
commit 979086f5e006 ("Merge tag 'fs.fixes.v5.19-rc3' of git://git.k.." )
so the idea that the code is broken in linux-next is out.

Which leaves the memory leak detector having trouble with this,
or something like a memory stomp is causing problems.

Catalin is it possible that the clever use of ctl_table_arg to hold the
reference to the table before it is freed is confusing the memory leak
detector?  The idiom is old enough I don't expect so, but I have seen
bugs lurk for a long time.

Which leaves just a memory stomp or something even stranger in the code.
syzkaller can you reproduce this on Linus's branch?
