With CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y, the 'bind_writers' buffer is allocated via
alloc_cpumask_var() in param_set_cpumask(). But it is not freed, when
setting the module parameter multiple times by sysfs interface or removing
module.
Below kmemleak trace is seen for this issue:
unreferenced object 0xffff888100aabff8 (size 8):
comm "bash", pid 323, jiffies 4295059233

This issue can be reproduced by:
insmod locktorture.ko bind_writers=1
rmmod locktorture
or:
insmod locktorture.ko bind_writers=1
echo 2 > /sys/module/locktorture/parameters/bind_writers
Considering that setting the module parameter 'bind_writers' or
'bind_readers' by sysfs interface has no real effect, set the parameter
permissions to 0444. To fix the memory leak when removing module, free
'bind_writers' and 'bind_readers' memory in lock_torture_cleanup().

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 reStructuredText 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.
