[PATCH for-rc 0/2] Pre-req for hfi1 cdev rework

[Dennis Dalessandro]

Kaike found a couple issues while working on the cdev stuff. Here are two fixes
that should probably precede those patches (which are yet to be posted)

[PATCH for-rc 1/2] IB/hfi1: Fix memory leaks in sysfs registration and unregistration

[Dennis Dalessandro]

From: Kaike Wan <kaike.wan@intel.com>

When the hfi1 driver is unloaded, kmemleak will report the following
issue:

unreferenced object 0xffff8888461a4c08 (size 8):
comm "kworker/0:0", pid 5, jiffies 4298601264 (age 2047.134s)
hex dump (first 8 bytes):

This patch fixes the issue by:
- Releasing dd->per_sdma[i].kobject in hfi1_unregister_sysfs().
  - This will fix the memory leak.
- Calling kobject_put() to unwind operations only for those entries in
   dd->per_sdma[] whose operations have succeeded (including the current
   one that has just failed) in hfi1_verbs_register_sysfs().

[PATCH for-rc 2/2] IB/hfi1: Call kobject_put() when kobject_init_and_add() fails

[Dennis Dalessandro]

From: Kaike Wan <kaike.wan@intel.com>

When kobject_init_and_add() returns an error in the function
hfi1_create_port_files(), the function kobject_put() is not called for
the corresponding kobject, which potentially leads to memory leak.

This patch fixes the issue by calling kobject_put() even if
kobject_init_and_add() fails.

I'm not certain, but this seems unwise.

After hfi1_verbs_unregiser_sysfs() returns there should be no sysfs left
under the ibdev as we are going to delete the ibdev sysfs next.

kobject_del() triggers synchronous delete of the sysfs, while
kobject_put() potentially defers it to the future.

Will ib unregister fail if the kobject_del() has not happened yet? I
am unsure.

True.  However, kobject_del() will only delete the sysfs for the object, ie, unwrap what has been done in object_add, but it will not decrement the refcount for the kobject.
To unwap kobject_init_and_add(), one can call
(1) kobject_del() (optional)
(2) object_put()

The kobject cleanup function (kobject_cleanup()) will call kobject_del if kobj->state_in_sys is set. Therefore, one can call object_put() alone to get the job done.

I don't think so. We only observed the kmemleak complaints after unloading the driver, nothing else.

Yes, you must call both, but kobject_put is not a replacement for
kobject_del.

No, as I already explained, the moment that kobject_del happens is no
longer reliable with kobject_put.

Of course, hfi1 is missing the required kobject_put, so it was only a
leak.

To see if there is an issue here delete the kobject_del and
kobject_put entirely to leave a dangling sysfs during registration and
see if ib device unregistration explodes.

I tried a patch wherein the function hfi1_verbs_unregister_sysfs() is never called at all and when unloading the driver the ib device un-registration went through smoothly(no error, the /sys/class/infiniband/hfi1_0 directory gone). Only kmemleak complaints were observed.

I will re-spin the patches.

Then perhaps there is nothing to worry about and the patches are fine

Then I don't have to re-spin the patches?

Applied to for-next, for-rc is done now.
