Fork of alistair23 Linux kernel for reMarkable from https://github.com/alistair23/linux
f6ba488073
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().

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
