[PATCH 1/3] x86/resctrl: Remove superfluous kernfs_get() calls to prevent refcount leak

[Xiaochen Shen]

Willem reported growing of kernfs_node_cache entries in slabtop when
repeatedly creating and removing resctrl subdirectories as well as when
repeatedly mounting and unmounting resctrl filesystem.

On resource group (control as well as monitoring) creation via a mkdir
an extra kernfs_node reference is obtained to ensure that the rdtgroup
structure remains accessible for the rdtgroup_kn_unlock() calls where it
is removed on deletion. The kernfs_node reference count is dropped by
kernfs_put() in rdtgroup_kn_unlock().

With the above explaining the need for one kernfs_get()/kernfs_put()
pair in resctrl there are more places where a kernfs_node reference is
obtained without a corresponding release. The excessive amount of
reference count on kernfs nodes will never be dropped to 0 and the
kernfs nodes will never be freed in the call paths of rmdir and umount.
It leads to reference count leak and kernfs_node_cache memory leak.

Remove the superfluous kernfs_get() calls and expand the existing
comments surrounding the remaining kernfs_get()/kernfs_put() pair that
remains in use.

Superfluous kernfs_get() calls are removed from two areas:

  (1) In call paths of mount and mkdir, when kernfs nodes for "info",
  "mon_groups" and "mon_data" directories and sub-directories are
  created, the reference count of newly created kernfs node is set to 1.
  But after kernfs_create_dir() returns, superfluous kernfs_get() are
  called to take an additional reference.

  (2) kernfs_get() calls in rmdir call paths.

[PATCH 2/3] x86/resctrl: Add necessary kernfs_put() calls to prevent refcount leak

[Xiaochen Shen]

On resource group creation via a mkdir an extra kernfs_node reference is
obtained by kernfs_get() to ensure that the rdtgroup structure remains
accessible for the rdtgroup_kn_unlock() calls where it is removed on
deletion. Currently the extra kernfs_node reference count is only
dropped by kernfs_put() in rdtgroup_kn_unlock() while the rdtgroup
structure is removed in a few other locations that lack the matching
reference drop.

In call paths of rmdir and umount, when a control group is removed,
kernfs_remove() is called to remove the whole kernfs nodes tree of the
control group (including the kernfs nodes trees of all child monitoring
groups), and then rdtgroup structure is freed by kfree(). The rdtgroup
structures of all child monitoring groups under the control group are
freed by kfree() in free_all_child_rdtgrp().

Before calling kfree() to free the rdtgroup structures, the kernfs node
of the control group itself as well as the kernfs nodes of all child
monitoring groups still take the extra references which will never be
dropped to 0 and the kernfs nodes will never be freed. It leads to
reference count leak and kernfs_node_cache memory leak.

For example, reference count leak is observed in these two cases:
  (1) mount -t resctrl resctrl /sys/fs/resctrl
      mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/c1
      mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/c1/mon_groups/m1
      umount /sys/fs/resctrl

  (2) mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/c1
      mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/c1/mon_groups/m1
      rmdir /sys/fs/resctrl/c1

The same reference count leak issue also exists in the error exit paths
of mkdir in mkdir_rdt_prepare() and rdtgroup_mkdir_ctrl_mon().

Fix this issue by following changes to make sure the extra kernfs_node
reference on rdtgroup is dropped before freeing the rdtgroup structure.
  (1) Introduce rdtgroup removal helper rdtgroup_remove() to wrap up
  kernfs_put() and kfree().

  (2) Call rdtgroup_remove() in rdtgroup removal path where the rdtgroup
  structure is about to be freed by kfree().

  (3) Call rdtgroup_remove() or kernfs_put() as appropriate in the error
  exit paths of mkdir where an extra reference is taken by kernfs_get().

[PATCH 3/3] x86/resctrl: Clean up unused function parameter in rmdir path

[Xiaochen Shen]

Previous commit
("x86/resctrl: Remove superfluous kernfs_get() calls to prevent refcount leak")

removed superfluous kernfs_get() calls in rdtgroup_ctrl_remove() and
rdtgroup_rmdir_ctrl(). That change resulted in an unused function
parameter to these two functions.

Clean up the unused function parameter in rdtgroup_ctrl_remove(),
rdtgroup_rmdir_mon() and their callers rdtgroup_rmdir_ctrl() and
rdtgroup_rmdir().

accessible for the rdtgroup_kn_unlock() calls where it is removed on
deletion. Currently the extra kernfs_node reference count is only
dropped by kernfs_put() in rdtgroup_kn_unlock() while the rdtgroup
structure is removed in a few other locations that lack the matching
reference drop.

In call paths of rmdir and umount, when a control group is removed,
kernfs_remove() is called to remove the whole kernfs nodes tree of the
control group (including the kernfs nodes trees of all child monitoring
groups), and then rdtgroup structure is freed by kfree(). The rdtgroup
structures of all child monitoring groups under the control group are
freed by kfree() in free_all_child_rdtgrp().

Before calling kfree() to free the rdtgroup structures, the kernfs node
of the control group itself as well as the kernfs nodes of all child
monitoring groups still take the extra references which will never be
dropped to 0 and the kernfs nodes will never be freed. It leads to
reference count leak and kernfs_node_cache memory leak.

For example, reference count leak is observed in these two cases:
  (1) mount -t resctrl resctrl /sys/fs/resctrl
      mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/c1
      mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/c1/mon_groups/m1
      umount /sys/fs/resctrl

  (2) mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/c1
      mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/c1/mon_groups/m1
      rmdir /sys/fs/resctrl/c1

The same reference count leak issue also exists in the error exit paths
of mkdir in mkdir_rdt_prepare() and rdtgroup_mkdir_ctrl_mon().

Fix this issue by following changes to make sure the extra kernfs_node
reference on rdtgroup is dropped before freeing the rdtgroup structure.
  (1) Introduce rdtgroup removal helper rdtgroup_remove() to wrap up
  kernfs_put() and kfree().

  (2) Call rdtgroup_remove() in rdtgroup removal path where the rdtgroup
  structure is about to be freed by kfree().

  (3) Call rdtgroup_remove() or kernfs_put() as appropriate in the error
  exit paths of mkdir where an extra reference is taken by kernfs_get().

x86/resctrl: Remove superfluous kernfs_get() calls to prevent refcount leak

Willem reported growing of kernfs_node_cache entries in slabtop when
repeatedly creating and removing resctrl subdirectories as well as when
repeatedly mounting and unmounting the resctrl filesystem.

On resource group (control as well as monitoring) creation via a mkdir
an extra kernfs_node reference is obtained to ensure that the rdtgroup
structure remains accessible for the rdtgroup_kn_unlock() calls where it
is removed on deletion. The kernfs_node reference count is dropped by
kernfs_put() in rdtgroup_kn_unlock().

With the above explaining the need for one kernfs_get()/kernfs_put()
pair in resctrl there are more places where a kernfs_node reference is
obtained without a corresponding release. The excessive amount of
reference count on kernfs nodes will never be dropped to 0 and the
kernfs nodes will never be freed in the call paths of rmdir and umount.
It leads to reference count leak and kernfs_node_cache memory leak.

Remove the superfluous kernfs_get() calls and expand the existing
comments surrounding the remaining kernfs_get()/kernfs_put() pair that
remains in use.

Superfluous kernfs_get() calls are removed from two areas:

  (1) In call paths of mount and mkdir, when kernfs nodes for "info",
  "mon_groups" and "mon_data" directories and sub-directories are
  created, the reference count of newly created kernfs node is set to 1.
  But after kernfs_create_dir() returns, superfluous kernfs_get() are
  called to take an additional reference.

  (2) kernfs_get() calls in rmdir call paths.

Commit

  fd8d9db3559a ("x86/resctrl: Remove superfluous kernfs_get() calls to prevent refcount leak")

removed superfluous kernfs_get() calls in rdtgroup_ctrl_remove() and

parameter to these two functions.

Clean up the unused function parameter in rdtgroup_ctrl_remove(),
rdtgroup_rmdir_mon() and their callers rdtgroup_rmdir_ctrl() and
rdtgroup_rmdir().
