As I hear no reply from Tvrtko, and there is already 1d5h uptime with no leaks (but
the kworker with memstick_check nag I couldn't bisect on the only box that reproduced it,
because something in hw was not supported in pre 4.16 kernels on the Lenovo V530S-07ICB.
Or I am doing something wrong.)

However, now I can find the memstick maintainers thanks to Tvrtko's hint.

If you no longer require my service, I would close this on my behalf.

I hope I did not cause too much trouble. The knowledgeable knew that this was not a security
risk, but only a bug. (30 leaks of 64 bytes each were hardly to exhaust memory in any realistic
time.)

However, having some experience with software development, I always preferred bugs reported
and fixed rather than concealed and lying in wait (or worse, found first by a motivated
adversary.) Forgive me this rant, I do not live from writing kernel drivers, this is just a
pet project as of time being ...

Thanks,
Mirsad
