We used to just use our page list for final teardown, which would ensure that we got all the buffers, even the ones that were not on the normal cached list. But while moving to slab for the io_buffers, we know only prune this list, not the deferred locked list that we have. This can cause a leak of memory, if the workload ends up using the intermediate locked list. Fix this by always pruning both lists when tearing down.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
