root->ino_ida is used for kernfs inode number allocations. Since IDA has a layered structure, different IDs can reside on the same layer, which is currently accounted to some memory cgroup. The problem is that each kmem cache of a memory cgroup has its own directory on sysfs (under /sys/fs/kernel/<cache-name>/cgroup). If the inode number of such a directory or any file in it gets allocated from a layer accounted to the cgroup which the cache is created for, the cgroup will get pinned for good, because one has to free all kmem allocations accounted to a cgroup in order to release it and destroy all its kmem caches. That said we must not account layers of ino_ida to any memory cgroup. Since per net init operations may create new sysfs entries directly (e.g. lo device) or indirectly (nf_conntrack creates a new kmem cache per each namespace, which, in turn, creates new sysfs entries), an easy way to reproduce this issue is by creating network namespace(s) from inside a kmem-active memory cgroup.
