Confirmed.
With the sole difference of:
[marvin@...mtodorov linux_torvalds]$ grep KOBJECT /boot/config-6.3.0-rc2-vanilla-00006-gfc89d7fb499b
CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE=y
# CONFIG_SAMPLE_KOBJECT is not set
[marvin@...mtodorov linux_torvalds]$
we get again unkillable processes:
[root@...mtodorov linux_torvalds]# ps -ef | grep tun
root 1157 1 0 16:44 ? 00:00:00 /bin/bash /usr/sbin/ksmtuned
root 1331 1 0 16:44 ? 00:00:01 /usr/libexec/platform-python -Es /usr/sbin/tuned -l -P

root 4095 3364 0 16:50 pts/1 00:00:00 grep --color=auto tun
[root@...mtodorov linux_torvalds]#
Possibly the kernel /proc/cmdline is also important:
[root@...mtodorov linux_torvalds]# cat /proc/cmdline
BOOT_IMAGE=(hd0,gpt5)/vmlinuz-6.3.0-rc2-vanilla-00006-gfc89d7fb499b root=/dev/mapper/almalinux_desktop--mtodorov-root ro
crashkernel=auto resume=/dev/mapper/almalinux_desktop--mtodorov-swap rd.lvm.lv=almalinux_desktop-mtodorov/root
rd.lvm.lv=almalinux_desktop-mtodorov/swap loglevel=7 i915.alpha_support=1 debug devres.log=1
[root@...mtodorov linux_torvalds]#
After a while, kernel message start looping:
kernel:unregister_netdevice: waiting for tap0 to become free. Usage count = 3
Message from syslogd@...mtodorov at Mar 14 16:57:15 ...
kernel:unregister_netdevice: waiting for tap0 to become free. Usage count = 3
Message from syslogd@...mtodorov at Mar 14 16:57:24 ...
kernel:unregister_netdevice: waiting for tap0 to become free. Usage count = 3
Message from syslogd@...mtodorov at Mar 14 16:57:26 ...
kernel:unregister_netdevice: waiting for tap0 to become free. Usage count = 3
This hangs processes until very late stage of shutdown.
I can confirm that CONFIG_DEBUG_{KOBJECT,KOBJECT_RELEASE}=y were the only changes
to .config in between builds.
Best regards,
Mirsad
