Hi Greg,

Actually, using the .config and the C reproducer, syzbot reports the
memory leak in rds_send_probe function. Also by enabling
CONFIG_RDS_DEBUG=y, the debug messages indicates the similar as I
mentioned above. To give an example, below is the RDS_DEBUG messages.
Allocated address 000000008a7476e5 has initial ref_count 1. Then there
are three rds_message_addref calls for the same address making the
refcount 4, but only three rds_message_put calls which leave the
address still allocated.

[   60.570681] rds_message_addref(): addref rm 000000008a7476e5 ref 1
[   60.570707] rds_message_put(): put rm 000000008a7476e5 ref 2
[   60.570845] rds_message_addref(): addref rm 000000008a7476e5 ref 1
[   60.570870] rds_message_addref(): addref rm 000000008a7476e5 ref 2
[   60.570960] rds_message_put(): put rm 000000008a7476e5 ref 3
[   60.570995] rds_message_put(): put rm 000000008a7476e5 ref 2

Thanks,
