Description

Hi all,

We’ve been running E810 cards on our production servers for some time. After upgrading from RHEL 9.4 to 9.6, we noticed significant RAM leaks. Red Hat indicated this is a kernel module issue addressed in [this commit](https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=84bf1ac85af8)
.

Looking into it, the code in that commit seems different from what’s in this repo. A few questions:

How does the code in this repo relate to the Linux kernel version?

We’d prefer to upgrade the driver version rather than the kernel (to avoid issues with other devices). Which driver version includes this fix? Was this bug present in the Intel driver?

Thanks for your guidance!
