When it finds exited process while it is in the scanning iteration, it just pends the mm_slot of the exited process to the internal list. On the other hend, when KSM daemon cleans mm_slots of exited processes, it should care regions of exited processes to remove unreferenced lksm_region objects. Previously, most regions are maintained properly but only regions in "head" of the exited process list does not be cleaned due to the buggy implementation. At last, uncleaned objects are remained as unreferenced garbages.
