Subject: Re: [PATCH] padata: do not leak refcount in reorder_work

Hi Dominik,

I wanted to report a regression observed while running the
`kselftest-mm` suite, specifically the
`mm_run_vmtests_sh_migration_migration_shared_anon` test, on an
Arm64 Marvell Thunder X2 (TX2) system.

The kernel was built using defconfig with the additional config
fragment from:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/tools/testing/selftests/mm/config

This works fine on v6.15-rc7.

A bisect identified this patch as introducing the failure. Bisected
it on the tag "v6.15-rc7-7-g4a95bc121ccd" at repo:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git
