Hi all,

In the last few days of running torvalds master kernel, I found that=20
SUnreclaim memory seems to increase indefinitely. slabinfo -r kmalloc-2k=20
says:

So, if I understand correctly, some memory copied from userspace for=20
snd_ctl_ioctl is not freed correctly. The PIDs were pipewire,=20
wireplumber, and pipewire-pulse, so I restarted those but it didn't=20
resolve the issue.

Let me know what other information is needed.

Thanks,
