For me, this is not true here.
If you try to register a callback for every buffer object. I think there would be memory leak here.

If I'm correct, I think the length of after_forkers_child will raising unlimited？

Fix #84579
[BUG] Fix deadlock in BufferedIO after fork in child process
The current implementation of BufferedIO can lead to a deadlock situation in child processes after fork() due to inherited lock states from the parent process's buffer protection mechanism.
Problem
When a Python process forks, the child process inherits the lock state of BufferedIO's internal buffer protection from its parent. This inherited lock state can cause deadlocks in the child process when attempting to perform I/O operations.
Solution
buffered_after_fork_child_impl()to properly initialize buffer and lock states in child processesPyOS_AfterFork_Child()to ensure proper buffer state reset after forkTarget Issues
This fix is particularly important for applications that rely on process forking and perform I/O operations in child processes.
Note: This change only affects Unix-like systems where fork() is available.
