The only user of cgroup_subsys->free() callback is pids_cgrp_subsys which
needs pids_free() to uncharge the pid.
However, ->free() is called from __put_task_struct()->cgroup_free() and this
is too late. Even the trivial program which does
for (;;) {
int pid = fork();
assert(pid >= 0);
if (pid)
wait(NULL);
else
exit(0);
}
can run out of limits because release_task()->call_rcu(delayed_put_task_struct)
implies an RCU gp after the task/pid goes away and before the final put().
Test-case:
mkdir -p /tmp/CG
mount -t cgroup2 none /tmp/CG
echo '+pids' > /tmp/CG/cgroup.subtree_control
mkdir /tmp/CG/PID
echo 2 > /tmp/CG/PID/pids.max
perl -e 'while ($p = fork) { wait; } $p // die "fork failed: $!\n"' &
echo $! > /tmp/CG/PID/cgroup.procs
Without this patch the forking process fails soon after migration.
Rename cgroup_subsys->free() to cgroup_subsys->release() and move the callsite
into the new helper, cgroup_release(), called by release_task() which actually
frees the pid(s).

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.
