Subject: Memory leak in nfs

Hi,

I am writing to you to request that the patch by Benjamin published at 
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-nfs/54144a14-606a-4f2c-ca19-9b762e1f7e91@linux-m68k.org/T/ 
be merged into kernel 6.5. Because of this bug, a block of memory is leaked for 
every NFS mount. The patch solves the issue on my system.

Thanks,

Larry
