From: Quanyang Wang <quanyang.wang@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> When enabling CONFIG_CGROUP_BPF, kmemleak can be observed by running the command as below: $mount -t cgroup -o none,name=foo cgroup cgroup/ $umount cgroup/ unreferenced object 0xc3585c40 (size 64): comm "mount", pid 425, jiffies 4294959825 (age 31.990s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 01 00 00 80 84 8c 28 c0 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ......(......... 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 6c 43 a0 c3 00 00 00 00 ........lC...... backtrace: [<e95a2f9e>] cgroup_bpf_inherit+0x44/0x24c [<1f03679c>] cgroup_setup_root+0x174/0x37c [<ed4b0ac5>] cgroup1_get_tree+0x2c0/0x4a0 [<f85b12fd>] vfs_get_tree+0x24/0x108 [<f55aec5c>] path_mount+0x384/0x988 [<e2d5e9cd>] do_mount+0x64/0x9c [<208c9cfe>] sys_mount+0xfc/0x1f4 [<06dd06e0>] ret_fast_syscall+0x0/0x48 [<a8308cb3>] 0xbeb4daa8 This is because that root_cgrp->bpf.refcnt.data is allocated by the function percpu_ref_init in cgroup_bpf_inherit which is called by cgroup_setup_root when mounting, but not freed along with root_cgrp when umounting. Adding cgroup_bpf_offline which calls percpu_ref_kill to cgroup_kill_sb can free root_cgrp->bpf.refcnt.data in umount path.
