commit db37a34c563b ("block, bfq: get a ref to a group when adding it to a service tree") introduce leak forbfq_group and blkcg_gq objects because of get/put imbalance. See trace balow: -> blkg_alloc -> bfq_pq_alloc -> bfqg_get (+1) ->bfq_activate_bfqq ->bfq_activate_requeue_entity -> __bfq_activate_entity ->bfq_get_entity ->bfqg_and_blkg_get (+1) <==== : Note1 ->bfq_del_bfqq_busy ->bfq_deactivate_entity+0x53/0xc0 [bfq] ->__bfq_deactivate_entity+0x1b8/0x210 [bfq] -> bfq_forget_entity(is_in_service = true) entity->on_st_or_in_serv = false <=== :Note2 if (is_in_service) return; ==> do not touch reference -> blkcg_css_offline -> blkcg_destroy_blkgs -> blkg_destroy -> bfq_pd_offline -> __bfq_deactivate_entity if (!entity->on_st_or_in_serv) /* true, because (Note2) return false; -> bfq_pd_free -> bfqg_put() (-1, byt bfqg->ref == 2) because of (Note2) So bfq_group and blkcg_gq will leak forever, see test-case below. We should drop group reference once it finaly removed from service inside __bfq_bfqd_reset_in_service, as we do with queue entities. ##TESTCASE_BEGIN: #!/bin/bash max_iters=${1:-100} #prep cgroup mounts mount -t tmpfs cgroup_root /sys/fs/cgroup mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio mount -t cgroup -o blkio none /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio # Prepare blkdev grep blkio /proc/cgroups truncate -s 1M img losetup /dev/loop0 img echo bfq > /sys/block/loop0/queue/scheduler grep blkio /proc/cgroups for ((i=0;i<max_iters;i++)) do mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/a echo 0 > /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/a/cgroup.procs dd if=/dev/loop0 bs=4k count=1 of=/dev/null iflag=direct 2> /dev/null echo 0 > /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/cgroup.procs rmdir /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/a grep blkio /proc/cgroups done ##TESTCASE_END: changes since v2: - use safe iteration macro to prevent freed object dereference.
