commit 051b982b upstream. kaweth_control() never frees the buffer that it allocates for the USB control message. Test case: while :; do ifconfig eth2 down ; ifconfig eth2 up ; done This is a tiny buffer so it is a slow leak. If you want to speed up the process, you can change the allocation size to e.g. 16384 bytes, and it will consume several megabytes within a few minutes. Signed-off-by:
