Subject: [PATCH 5.4 124/138] mm: memcg/slab: fix memory leak at non-root kmem_cache destroy

From: Muchun Song <songmuchun@...edance.com>

commit d38a2b7a9c939e6d7329ab92b96559ccebf7b135 upstream.

If the kmem_cache refcount is greater than one, we should not mark the
root kmem_cache as dying.  If we mark the root kmem_cache dying
incorrectly, the non-root kmem_cache can never be destroyed.  It
resulted in memory leak when memcg was destroyed.  We can use the
following steps to reproduce.

  1) Use kmem_cache_create() to create a new kmem_cache named A.
  2) Coincidentally, the kmem_cache A is an alias for kmem_cache B,
     so the refcount of B is just increased.
  3) Use kmem_cache_destroy() to destroy the kmem_cache A, just
     decrease the B's refcount but mark the B as dying.
  4) Create a new memory cgroup and alloc memory from the kmem_cache
     B. It leads to create a non-root kmem_cache for allocating memory.
  5) When destroy the memory cgroup created in the step 4), the
     non-root kmem_cache can never be destroyed.

If we repeat steps 4) and 5), this will cause a lot of memory leak.  So
only when refcount reach zero, we mark the root kmem_cache as dying.
