It is easy to hit the below memory leaks in my TigerLake platform:
unreferenced object 0xffff927c8b91dbc0 (size 32):
comm "kworker/0:2", pid 112, jiffies 4294893323 (age 83.604s)
hex dump (first 32 bytes):

Fix it by calling kfree() accordingly.

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.
