2a38a002fbee06556489091c30b04746222167e4 is first bad commit
commit 2a38a002fbee06556489091c30b04746222167e4

slub: sysfs_slab_remove should free kmem_cache when debug is enabled
kmem_cache_destroy use sysfs_slab_remove to release the kmem_cache,
but when CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG is enabled, sysfs_slab_remove just release
related kobject, the whole kmem_cache is missed to release and cause
a memory leak.

CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_SLUB=y
CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON=y
# CONFIG_SLUB_STATS is not set
I created a very simple kernel module which consisted only of:
static int __init kmem_cache_test_init_module(void)
{
struct kmem_cache *test_cachep;
test_cachep = kmem_cache_create("test_cachep", 32, 0, 0, NULL);
if (test_cachep)
kmem_cache_destroy(test_cachep);
return 0;
}
Before this patch it works just fine. After this patch I get a bug like
this:

I also had problems destroying a kmem_cache in a security_initcall()
function which had a different backtrace (it's what made me create the
module and bisect.) So be sure to let me know what you find so I can
be sure that we fix that place as well (I believe that was a kref
problem rather than a double free)

Could you please tell me the tree you're using? I'll debug on it first...

I was looking at the linux-next tree from Sept 11

That's my fault... Please drop this patch, I didn't notice the free
action in kobject release phase.. Thanks for point it out.

I think I got the real problem, that's introduced from former commit
a0e1d1be204612ee83b3afe8aa24c5d27e63d464, this results kmem_cache
always be freed at kmem_cache_create....
Can following patch fix this issue?

Doesn't the return inside the conditional take care of this? I'll give
it a try in the morning, but I don't see how this can solve the
problem....

err, you're right... let me try to find why. It's strange, if SLUB_DEBUG
is not set, sysfs_slab_remove is just to free kmem_cache s. So I think
if SLUB_DEBUG is not set, we also have the same issue....
