The commit was merged on December 13th 2022.
The amount of applied diffs in the culprit commit 71946a25f357a51dcce849367501d7fb04c0465b prevents me from bisecting further - I do not know which changes depend of which, and which can be tested independently.
Hopefully I might come up with a reproducer, but I need some feedback first. Maybe there are ways to narrow down the lines of code that could have caused the leaks, yet I am completely new to the kernel/trace subtree.
Apologies for not Cc:ing Ulf nine weeks ago, but it was an omission, not deliberate act.
This looks like an issue with the tracing subsystem. I appreciate that you've now added the tracing maintainers to Cc. I don't think your bisection to commit 71946a25f357 ("Merge tag 'mmc-v6.2' ...") is correct; that looks unrelated.

Hi, Eric,
In the light of Steven's correct fix, you are obviously right, so I will investigate where the bisect went wrong.
I should have added selftest/ftrace/ftracetest developers already on Jan 27th, and it would be fixed for 6.2 already :-/
The good news is that I seem to be improving in hunting down the memleaks. Hopefully I will hunt down a real security exploit?
All the best.
Best regards, Mirsad
