Subject: Re: [Linux Kernel Bug] memory leak in posix_clock_open

Dear Linux Developers,

I am reaching out to kindly inquire whether there have been any recent
updates or progress regarding the memory leak issue.
If you have any questions about the reproducer or config, please let me know.

Best,
Chenyuan
