Currently the lifetime of bpf programs attached to a cgroup is bound to the lifetime of the cgroup itself. It means that if a user forgets (or intentionally avoids) to detach a bpf program before removing the cgroup, it will stay attached up to the release of the cgroup. Since the cgroup can stay in the dying state (the state between being rmdir()'ed and being released) for a very long time, it leads to a waste of memory. Also, it blocks a possibility to implement the memcg-based memory accounting for bpf objects, because a circular reference dependency will occur. Charged memory pages are pinning the corresponding memory cgroup, and if the memory cgroup is pinning the attached bpf program, nothing will be ever released. A dying cgroup can not contain any processes, so the only chance for an attached bpf program to be executed is a live socket associated with the cgroup. So in order to release all bpf data early, let's count associated sockets using a new percpu refcounter. On cgroup removal the counter is transitioned to the atomic mode, and as soon as it reaches 0, all bpf programs are detached. Because cgroup_bpf_release() can block, it can't be called from the percpu ref counter callback directly, so instead an asynchronous work is scheduled. The reference counter is not socket specific, and can be used for any other types of programs, which can be executed from a cgroup-bpf hook outside of the process context, had such a need arise in the future.

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.
