Hi, all!
After running tools/testing/selftests/net/tun, there seems to be some kind of hang
in test "FAIL tun.reattach_delete_close" or "FAIL tun.reattach_close_delete".
Two tests exit by timeout, but the processes left are unkillable, even with kill -9 PID:

The kernel seems to be stuck in some loop, and filling the log with the
following messages until reboot, where it is also waiting very long on the
situation to timeout, which apparently never happens.

The platform is kernel 6.3.0-rc2 on AlmaLinux 8.7 and a LENOVO_MT_10TX_BU_Lenovo_FM_V530S-07ICB
(lshw output attached).
The .config is here:
https://domac.alu.hr/~mtodorov/linux/selftests/net-tun/config-6.3.0-rc2-mg-andy-devres-00006-gfc89d7fb499b
Basically, it is a vanilla Torvalds tree kernel with MGLRU, KMEMLEAK, and CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT enabled.
And devres patch.
Please find the strace of the net/tun run attached.
I am available for additional diagnostics.
Hi, again!
I've been busy while waiting for reply, so I wondered how would a vanilla kernel
go through the test, considering that I've been testing a number of patches
lately.
I did a fresh git clone from repo and woa.
Surprisingly, the test with CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT turned off passes:
[root@pc-mtodorov linux_torvalds]# tools/testing/selftests/net/tun
TAP version 13
1..5
# Starting 5 tests from 1 test cases.
# RUN tun.delete_detach_close ...
# OK tun.delete_detach_close
ok 1 tun.delete_detach_close
# RUN tun.detach_delete_close ...
# OK tun.detach_delete_close
ok 2 tun.detach_delete_close
# RUN tun.detach_close_delete ...
# OK tun.detach_close_delete
ok 3 tun.detach_close_delete
# RUN tun.reattach_delete_close ...
# OK tun.reattach_delete_close
ok 4 tun.reattach_delete_close
# RUN tun.reattach_close_delete ...
# OK tun.reattach_close_delete
ok 5 tun.reattach_close_delete
# PASSED: 5 / 5 tests passed.
# Totals: pass:5 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0
[root@pc-mtodorov linux_torvalds]#
So, no hanging processes that cannot be killed now.
If you think it is worthy to explore the lockup that occurs when turning
CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT=y, I will rebuild once again with these turned on,
to clear any doubts.
Confirmed.
With the sole difference of:
[marvin@pc-mtodorov linux_torvalds]$ grep KOBJECT /boot/config-6.3.0-rc2-vanilla-00006-gfc89d7fb499b
CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE=y
# CONFIG_SAMPLE_KOBJECT is not set
[marvin@pc-mtodorov linux_torvalds]$
we get again unkillable processes:

[root@pc-mtodorov linux_torvalds]#
Possibly the kernel /proc/cmdline is also important:
[root@pc-mtodorov linux_torvalds]# cat /proc/cmdline
BOOT_IMAGE=(hd0,gpt5)/vmlinuz-6.3.0-rc2-vanilla-00006-gfc89d7fb499b root=/dev/mapper/almalinux_desktop--mtodorov-root ro

[root@pc-mtodorov linux_torvalds]#
After a while, kernel message start looping:
kernel:unregister_netdevice: waiting for tap0 to become free. Usage count = 3
Message from syslogd@pc-mtodorov at Mar 14 16:57:15 ...
kernel:unregister_netdevice: waiting for tap0 to become free. Usage count = 3

Message from syslogd@pc-mtodorov at Mar 14 16:57:26 ...
kernel:unregister_netdevice: waiting for tap0 to become free. Usage count = 3
This hangs processes until very late stage of shutdown.
I can confirm that CONFIG_DEBUG_{KOBJECT,KOBJECT_RELEASE}=y were the only changes
to .config in between builds.
Best regards,
