The reproducer can be reduced to: #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <endian.h> #include <stdint.h> #include <string.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <sys/syscall.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <sys/mount.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <fcntl.h> const char path[] = "./file0"; int main() { mkdir(path, 0); mount(path, path, "cgroup2", 0, 0); chroot(path); umount2(path, 0); return 0; } and I've found two bugs (see attached patch). The issue is that do_remount_sb() is called with fc == NULL from umount(), but both cgroup_reconfigure() and do_remount_sb() dereference fc unconditionally. But! I'm not sure why the reproducer works at all because the umount2() call is *after* the chroot, so should fail on ENOENT before it even gets that far. In fact, umount2() can be called multiple times, apparently successfully, and doesn't actually unmount anything.
