If nilfs_attach_log_writer() failed to create a log writer thread, it frees a data structure of the log writer without any cleanup. After commite912a5b668("nilfs2: use root object to get ifile"), this causes a leak of struct nilfs_root, which started to leak an ifile metadata inode and a kobject on that struct. In addition, if the kernel is booted with panic_on_warn, the above ifile metadata inode leak will cause the following panic when the nilfs2 kernel module is removed: kmem_cache_destroy nilfs2_inode_cache: Slab cache still has objects when called from nilfs_destroy_cachep+0x16/0x3a [nilfs2] WARNING: CPU: 8 PID: 1464 at mm/slab_common.c:494 kmem_cache_destroy+0x138/0x140 ...

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.
