kernfs: prevent early freeing of root node
Marek reported the warning below. ========================= WARNING: held lock freed! 5.16.0-rc2+ #10984 Not tainted ------------------------- kworker/1:0/18 is freeing memory ffff00004034e200-ffff00004034e3ff, with a lock still held there! ffff00004034e348 (&root->kernfs_rwsem){++++}-{3:3}, at: __kernfs_remove+0x310/0x37c 3 locks held by kworker/1:0/18: #0: ffff000040107938 ((wq_completion)cgroup_destroy){+.+.}-{0:0}, at: process_one_work+0x1f0/0x6f0 #1: ffff80000b55bdc0 ((work_completion)(&(&css->destroy_rwork)->work)){+.+.}-{0:0}, at: process_one_work+0x1f0/0x6f0 #2: ffff00004034e348 (&root->kernfs_rwsem){++++}-{3:3}, at: __kernfs_remove+0x310/0x37c stack backtrace: CPU: 1 PID: 18 Comm: kworker/1:0 Not tainted 5.16.0-rc2+ #10984 Hardware name: Raspberry Pi 4 Model B (DT) Workqueue: cgroup_destroy css_free_rwork_fn Call trace: dump_backtrace+0x0/0x1ac show_stack+0x18/0x24 dump_stack_lvl+0x8c/0xb8 dump_stack+0x18/0x34 debug_check_no_locks_freed+0x124/0x140 kfree+0xf0/0x3a4 kernfs_put+0x1f8/0x224 __kernfs_remove+0x1b8/0x37c kernfs_destroy_root+0x38/0x50 css_free_rwork_fn+0x288/0x3d4 process_one_work+0x288/0x6f0 worker_thread+0x74/0x470 kthread+0x188/0x194 ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20 Since kernfs moves the kernfs_rwsem lock into root, it couldn't hold the lock when the root node is tearing down. Thus, get the refcount of root node.
