Al Viro 683a786b6b percpu_ref_init(): clean ->percpu_count_ref on failure 
[ Upstream commit a91714312e ]

That way percpu_ref_exit() is safe after failing percpu_ref_init().
At least one user (cgroup_create()) had a double-free that way;
there might be other similar bugs.  Easier to fix in percpu_ref_init(),
rather than playing whack-a-mole in sloppy users...

Usual symptoms look like a messed refcounting in one of subsystems
that use percpu allocations (might be percpu-refcount, might be
something else).  Having refcounts for two different objects share
memory is Not Nice(tm)...

README 

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.
