Subject: [PATCH] kernfs: fix memleak in kernel_ops_readdir()
From: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@...hat.com>
If getdents64 is killed or hits on segfault, it'll leave cgroups
directories in sysfs pinned leaking memory because the kernfs node
won't be freed on rmdir and the parent neither.
Repro:
# for i in `seq 1000`; do mkdir $i; done
# rmdir *
# for i in `seq 1000`; do mkdir $i; done
# rmdir *
# for i in `seq 1000`; do while :; do ls $i/ >/dev/null; done & done
# while :; do killall ls; done
kernfs_node_cache in /proc/slabinfo keeps going up as expected.
