The objcg is not cleared and put for kfence object when it is freed, which could lead to memory leak for struct obj_cgroup and wrong statistics of NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE_B or NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE_B. Since the last freed object's objcg is not cleared, mem_cgroup_from_obj() could return the wrong memcg when this kfence object, which is not charged to any objcgs, is reallocated to other users. A real word issue [1] is caused by this bug.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
