I am not able to reproduce the bug with latest net-next.
Thanks Daniel to point it out, looks like your test uses an old-version unapplied patchset: https://github.com/0day-ci/linux/commit/76cdd39f4117a6cbd520b5d09993ac87acbdcfd8 which yes, there is a bug to leak the mutext lock and the bug is fixed in subsequent patch set.
FYI, we noticed the following commit (built with gcc-4.8): commit: 76cdd39f4117a6cbd520b5d09993ac87acbdcfd8 ("bpf: permit multiple bpf attachments for a single perf event") url: https://github.com/0day-ci/linux/commits/Yonghong-Song/bpf-permit-multiple-bpf-attachments-for-a-single-perf-tracepoint-event/20171024-080608 in testcase: boot on test machine: qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -smp 2 -m 512M caused below changes (please refer to attached dmesg/kmsg for entire log/backtrace): +----------------+------------+------------+ | | 052bd6a4fb | 76cdd39f41 | +----------------+------------+------------+ | boot_successes | 64 | 66 | +----------------+------------+------------+ [ 50.247341] WARNING: trinity-c0/3371 still has locks held!
