At the beginning of percpu_rwsem_wake_function() it calls get_task_struct(), but if the trylock failed, it will remain in the waitqueue. However, it will run percpu_rwsem_wake_function() again with get_task_struct() to increase the refcount. Can you enlighten me where it will call put_task_struct() in waitqueue or elsewhere to balance the refcount in this case?

I am pretty confident that the linux-next commit,

7f26482a872c ("locking/percpu-rwsem: Remove the embedded rwsem”)

Introduced memory leaks,

I put a debugging patch here,

return 1;

list_del_init(&wq_entry->entry);
smp_store_release(&wq_entry->private, NULL);
Once those printks() triggered, it ends up with task_struct leaks,
