commit 3d96208c30f84d6edf9ab4fac813306ac0d20c10 upstream. When upcalling gssproxy, cache_head.expiry_time is set as a timeval, not seconds since boot. As such, RPC cache expiry logic will not clean expired objects created under auth.rpcsec.context cache. This has proven to cause kernel memory leaks on field. Using 64 bit variants of getboottime/timespec Expiration times have worked this way since 2010's c5b29f885afe "sunrpc: use seconds since boot in expiry cache". The gssproxy code introduced in 2012 added gss_proxy_save_rsc and introduced the bug. That's a while for this to lurk, but it required a bit of an extreme case to make it obvious.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
