RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Please NOTE this patch is a bit *different* with the one mentioned in:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1528207#c38


Maybe we need this upstream commit also:

https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10935705/
Comment 6 Steve Whitehouse 2020-02-26 13:06:49 UTC 
I think 7.9 plus z-stream should be enough here, so I've updated the flags. Let me know if you disagree.

This stop leaks in the error path which is why
it didn't show up in the testing. 

We could easy add it since it does apply cleaning...

I wish you would reconsider... 

This needs to back to all supported z-streams...

Updated patch that fixes memory leaks

The updated  patch does fix the memory leaks on mounts
and non-error paths. There is the valgrind report after 
running the cthon tests simultaneously for a couple days.
