AFAIU, both the changes are needed to cause the leak, a single patch
alone won't cause the issue. Is that correct? (Perhaps not as I realize,
see below.)

But on second thought, the problem is the missing percpu_ref_exit() in
the (root) cgroup release path and percpu counter would allocate the
percpu_count_ptr anyway, so 4bfc0bb2c60e is only making the leak more
visible. Is this correct?

I agree the commit 2b0d3d3e4fcf ("percpu_ref: reduce memory footprint of
percpu_ref in fast path") alone did nothing wrong.

[On a related (but independent) note, there seems to be an optimization
opportunity in not dealing with cgroup_bpf at all on the non-default
hierarchies.]

Michal
