VM SourceTextModule will not be garbage-collected (memory leak) #41101

Version

v16.8.0

Platform

Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.22000.0 x64 (Windows 11 x86_64)

Subsystem

VM

What steps will reproduce the bug?

Run reproduce code below with option --experimental-vm-modules --inspect --max-old-space-size=4 --allow-natives-syntax, and connect devtool.

import vm from 'vm';

// wait for return key input
await new Promise(resolve => {
    process.stdin.once('data', resolve);
});

let context = vm.createContext({
    console, test: 'hello'
});

let bar = new vm.SourceTextModule(`console.log(test);`, {context});
await bar.link(() => {});
await bar.evaluate();

bar = null;
context = null;

eval('%CollectGarbage(true)'); // This won't GC vm context and module for unknown reason

debugger; // Check for SourceTextModule in devtool, it's still there

process.exit(0);

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

Anytime will result in memory leak.

What is the expected behavior?

SourceTextModule and contextified object will garbage collected.

What do you see instead?

SourceTextModule and contextified object does not garbage collected.

Additional information

Seems contextified object couldn't garbage collected because SourceTextModule has reference to contextified object.
