Hi,
When I doing the follow test in kernel-5.7-rc2, I found mem-free is
decreased
#!/bin/sh
cd /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/
for((i=0;i<45;i++))
do
for((j=0;j<60000;j++))
do
mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/yyl-cg$j
done
sleep 1
ls /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/ | grep yyl | xargs rmdir
done
before test the /proc/meminfo is:

after test and drop caches, the /proc/cgroups is:
#subsys_name hierarchy num_cgroups enabled
cpuset 11 1 1
cpu 2 1 1
cpuacct 2 1 1
blkio 8 1 1
memory 5 83 1
devices 3 41 1
freezer 6 1 1
net_cls 9 1 1
perf_event 10 1 1
net_prio 9 1 1
hugetlb 4 1 1
pids 7 51 1
rdma 12 1 1
All the dir that created by the script is already removed, but I got:
- MemFree is decreased about 6.7G
- SUnreclaim is increased about 4.6G
- Percpu is increased about 1.7G
It seems we have memory leak in cgroup ?
