commit 2bd110339288c18823dcace602b63b0d8627e520 upstream.
A successful call to cgroup_css_set_fork() will always have taken
a ref on kargs->cset (regardless of CLONE_INTO_CGROUP), so always
do a corresponding put in cgroup_css_set_put_fork().
Without this, a cset and its contained css structures will be
leaked for some fork failures. The following script reproduces
the leak for a fork failure due to exceeding pids.max in the
pids controller. A similar thing can happen if we jump to the
bad_fork_cancel_cgroup label in copy_process().
[ -z "$1" ] && echo "Usage $0 pids-root" && exit 1
PID_ROOT=$1
CGROUP=$PID_ROOT/foo
[ -e $CGROUP ] && rmdir -f $CGROUP
mkdir $CGROUP
echo 5 > $CGROUP/pids.max
echo $$ > $CGROUP/cgroup.procs
fork_bomb()
{
set -e
for i in $(seq 10); do
/bin/sleep 3600 &
done
}
(fork_bomb) &
wait
echo $$ > $PID_ROOT/cgroup.procs
kill $(cat $CGROUP/cgroup.procs)
rmdir $CGROUP

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.
