Revision f6ba488073fe8159851fe398cc3c5ee383bb4c7a authored by Vladimir Davydov on 18 August 2017, 22:16:08 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 18 August 2017, 22:32:01 UTC
To avoid a possible deadlock, sysfs_slab_remove() schedules an
asynchronous work to delete sysfs entries corresponding to the kmem
cache.  To ensure the cache isn't freed before the work function is
called, it takes a reference to the cache kobject.  The reference is
supposed to be released by the work function.

However, the work function (sysfs_slab_remove_workfn()) does nothing in
case the cache sysfs entry has already been deleted, leaking the kobject
and the corresponding cache.

This may happen on a per memcg cache destruction, because sysfs entries
of a per memcg cache are deleted on memcg offline if the cache is empty
(see __kmemcg_cache_deactivate()).

The kmemleak report looks like this:

  unreferenced object 0xffff9f798a79f540 (size 32):

Fix the leak by adding the missing call to kobject_put() to
sysfs_slab_remove_workfn().
