Hello,
syzbot found the following issue on:

fsck result: failed (log: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/x/fsck.log?x=16e69cdd580000)
AI-generated root cause summary:
In lib/radix-tree.c:__radix_tree_create(), intermediate radix_tree_node
(xa_node) structures are allocated and linked into parent slots as the function
descends through tree levels (shift -= RADIX_TREE_MAP_SHIFT). If a subsequent
node allocation fails with -ENOMEM before reaching the leaf slot,
__radix_tree_create() returns the error immediately without unwinding or
deleting the newly allocated empty intermediate nodes. Consequently, slot-based
iterators such as radix_tree_for_each_slot() used during cleanup (e.g. in
uverbs_destroy_api() -> uapi_remove_range()) never encounter the empty nodes
(which have count == 0), causing those radix_tree_node objects to leak when the
containing object is destroyed.

syzbot reported a memory leak of radix_tree_node objects allocated
while registering a siw device:

radix_tree_insert() can fail with -ENOMEM after __radix_tree_create()
has already linked intermediate nodes into the tree, leaving them with
no entries. uapi_add_elm() frees the element on failure, but nothing
frees these empty nodes: uverbs_destroy_api() only removes populated
slots, and radix tree nodes are freed only as a side effect of
deleting an entry. The nodes are therefore leaked when the uapi is
destroyed.
On -ENOMEM, populate the same key with a dummy entry and delete it
again so that radix_tree_delete() reclaims the empty node chain.
