Therefore tcmu increments and decrements a refcnt during uio_info::uio_open (tcmu_open) and uio_info::uio_release (tcmu_release). If via configFS user tries to destroy a tcmu device, tcmu calls uio_unregister_device(). If during this call userspace daemon still holds the uio device open or mmap'ed, uio does not call tcmu_release when userspace later closes and munmaps the uio device. So refcnt never drops to 0 and resources are not freed. My first attempt to fix the problem you can find here: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-scsi/20201218141534.9918-1-bostroesser@gmail.com/ That fix delayed calling uio_unregister_device until tcmu_release was called. To make userspace aware of the device going to be destroyed without calling uio_unregister_device, the patch inserted the following code snippet in tcmu: /* reset uio_info->irq, so uio will reject read() and write() */ udev->uio_info.irq = 0; /* Set bit, so we can reject later calls to tcmu_open and tcmu_mmap */ set_bit(TCMU_DEV_BIT_GOING_DOWN, &udev->flags); /* wake up possible sleeper in uio_read(), it will return -EIO */ uio_event_notify(&udev->uio_info); Especially resetting uio_info::irq on an alive uio device is not very clean, I think. Therefore I'm sending a small series of two patches as a second attempt to fix the memory leak. Patch 1 adds the new optional callback uio_info::late_release which is called if userspace closes or munmaps the uio device after uio_register_device was called. Patch 2 is a one liner that uses the new feature in tcmu. No further changes in tcmu are necessary. I'm wondering whether the new feature in uio can be useful for other drivers also, e.g. uio_hv_generic? The patches were made on top of Martin's for-next branch. But they probably will apply to most other recent trees.
