Hi,
There seems to be a kernel memory leak in the USB keyboard driver.
The leaked memory allocs are 96 and 512 bytes.
The platform is Ubuntu 22.04 LTS on a assembled AMD Ryzen 9 with X670E PG
Lightning mobo,
and Genius SlimStar i220 GK-080012 keyboard.
(Logitech M100 HID mouse is not affected by the bug.)
BIOS is:
*-firmware
description: BIOS

The kernel is 6.3.0-torvalds-<id>-13466-gfc4354c6e5c2.
The keyboard is recognised as Chicony:
*-usb

logical name: /dev/input/event8

The bug is easily reproduced by unplugging the USB keyboard, waiting about a
couple of seconds,
and then reconnect and scan for memory leaks twice.
The kmemleak log is as follows [edited privacy info]:
root@hostname:/home/username# cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak

As the call to class_create() in this path is now gone in 6.4-rc1, can
you retry that release to see if this is still there or not?
No, wait, it's still there, I was looking at a development branch of
mine that isn't sent upstream yet. And syzbot just reported the same
thing:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/00000000000058d15f05fb264013@xxxxxxxxxx
So something's wrong here, let me dig into it tomorrow when I get a
chance...
If this could help, here is the bisect of the bug (I could not discern what
could possibly be wrong):

This helps a lot, thanks. I got the reference counting wrong somewhere
in here, I thought I tested this better, odd it shows up now...
I'll try to work on it this week.
I have figured out that the leak occurs on keyboard unplugging only, one
or two leaks (maybe a race condition?).
Please NOTE that the number of leaks is now odd:

At one time unplugging keyboard generated only one leak, but only at one
time. As it requires manually unplugging keyboard, I didn't seem to find a
way to automate it, but it doesn't seem to require root access.
BTW, I've seen in syzbot output that kmemleak output has debug source file
names and line numbers. I couldn't make that work with the dbg .deb.
I will do some more homework, but this was a rough week.
I made up a patch based on code inspection alone, as I couldn't
reproduce this locally at all:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/2023051628-thumb-boaster-5680@gregkh
and it seemed to pass syzbot's tests.
I've included it here below, can you test it as well?
Hm, I only tested with a USB mouse unplug/plug cycle, maybe the issue is
a keyboard?
thanks,
greg k-h
Hi, Greg,
Yes, the problem was with the keyboard, and with unplugging, mouse unplugged
w/o problems.
I will test the patch in the afternoon, as the issue did not appear on the
work computer. Probably it is for the best that the exact environment is
reproduced for the test.
Best regards,
Mirsad
