io_register_pbuf_ring() ignores the return value of io_buffer_add_list(), which can fail if xa_store() returns an error (e.g., -ENOMEM). When this happens, the function returns 0 (success) to the caller, but the io_buffer_list structure is neither added to the xarray nor freed. In practice this requires failure injection to hit, hence not a real issue. But it should get fixed up none the less.
