commit fd8d9db3559a29fd737bcdb7c4fcbe1940caae34 upstream. Willem reported growing of kernfs_node_cache entries in slabtop when repeatedly creating and removing resctrl subdirectories as well as when repeatedly mounting and unmounting the resctrl filesystem. On resource group (control as well as monitoring) creation via a mkdir an extra kernfs_node reference is obtained to ensure that the rdtgroup structure remains accessible for the rdtgroup_kn_unlock() calls where it is removed on deletion. The kernfs_node reference count is dropped by kernfs_put() in rdtgroup_kn_unlock(). With the above explaining the need for one kernfs_get()/kernfs_put() pair in resctrl there are more places where a kernfs_node reference is obtained without a corresponding release. The excessive amount of reference count on kernfs nodes will never be dropped to 0 and the kernfs nodes will never be freed in the call paths of rmdir and umount. It leads to reference count leak and kernfs_node_cache memory leak. Remove the superfluous kernfs_get() calls and expand the existing comments surrounding the remaining kernfs_get()/kernfs_put() pair that remains in use. Superfluous kernfs_get() calls are removed from two areas: (1) In call paths of mount and mkdir, when kernfs nodes for "info", "mon_groups" and "mon_data" directories and sub-directories are created, the reference count of newly created kernfs node is set to 1. But after kernfs_create_dir() returns, superfluous kernfs_get() are called to take an additional reference. (2) kernfs_get() calls in rmdir call paths. Backporting notes: Since upstream commit fa7d949337cc ("x86/resctrl: Rename and move rdt files to a separate directory"), the file arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_rdt_rdtgroup.c has been renamed and moved to arch/x86/kernel/cpu/resctrl/rdtgroup.c. Apply the change against file arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_rdt_rdtgroup.c for older stable trees. Upstream commit 17eafd076291 ("x86/intel_rdt: Split resource group removal in two") moved part of resource group removal code from rdtgroup_rmdir_ctrl() into a separate function rdtgroup_ctrl_remove(). Apply the change against original code base of rdtgroup_rmdir_ctrl() for older stable trees.
