Ciao, Thorsten
>> Since 1st weak of Sept I have been observing memory leak in my system, so after doing a little big of digging I found out that the leak is caused by kmalloc. In Linux 6.5.3 memory leak would increase to nearly 50% of my ram over a period of 6-9 hours. In the Newer Linux 6.5.4 I am yet to observe that much memory leak(Haven't used my laptop for that long till now) but over a period of 3 hours I see 2.2GB reserved and it is not used by any program at all. this is just after 3 hours of usage on Linux 6.5.4.

#regzbot invalid: reinstalling nvidia driver solves the regression
