Hi,
There seems to be a kernel memory leak in the USB keyboard driver.
The leaked memory allocs are 96 and 512 bytes.
The platform is Ubuntu 22.04 LTS on a assembled AMD Ryzen 9 with X670E PG
Lightning mobo,
and Genius SlimStar i220 GK-080012 keyboard.
(Logitech M100 HID mouse is not affected by the bug.)
BIOS is:
*-firmware
description: BIOS

The kernel is 6.3.0-torvalds-<id>-13466-gfc4354c6e5c2.
The keyboard is recognised as Chicony:
*-usb

logical name: /dev/input/event8

The bug is easily reproduced by unplugging the USB keyboard, waiting about a
couple of seconds,
and then reconnect and scan for memory leaks twice.
The kmemleak log is as follows [edited privacy info]:
root@hostname:/home/username# cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak

As the call to class_create() in this path is now gone in 6.4-rc1, can
you retry that release to see if this is still there or not?
No, wait, it's still there, I was looking at a development branch of
mine that isn't sent upstream yet. And syzbot just reported the same
thing:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/00000000000058d15f05fb264013@xxxxxxxxxx
So something's wrong here, let me dig into it tomorrow when I get a
chance...
If this could help, here is the bisect of the bug (I could not discern what
could possibly be wrong):

This helps a lot, thanks. I got the reference counting wrong somewhere
in here, I thought I tested this better, odd it shows up now...
I'll try to work on it this week.
I have figured out that the leak occurs on keyboard unplugging only, one
or two leaks (maybe a race condition?).
Please NOTE that the number of leaks is now odd:

At one time unplugging keyboard generated only one leak, but only at one
time. As it requires manually unplugging keyboard, I didn't seem to find a
way to automate it, but it doesn't seem to require root access.
BTW, I've seen in syzbot output that kmemleak output has debug source file
names and line numbers. I couldn't make that work with the dbg .deb.
I will do some more homework, but this was a rough week.
I made up a patch based on code inspection alone, as I couldn't
reproduce this locally at all:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/2023051628-thumb-boaster-5680@gregkh
and it seemed to pass syzbot's tests.
I've included it here below, can you test it as well?
Hm, I only tested with a USB mouse unplug/plug cycle, maybe the issue is
a keyboard?
thanks,
greg k-h

The build with the latest 6.4-rc2 and without this patch still leaked,
the build with the same commit and this patch applied was successful:
root@defiant:/home/marvin# cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
root@defiant:/home/marvin#
Tried three times, and it is a OK.
Congratulations! This had fixed the leak.
I wonder why it didn't show in the other contexts, hardware and archs?
Best regards,
