It waits for an rcu grace period, after which all children kmem_caches should be deactivated. During the deactivation percpu_ref_kill() is called for non root kmem_cache refcounters, but it requires yet another rcu grace period to finish the transition to the atomic (dead) state. So in a rare case when not all children kmem_caches are destroyed at the moment when the root kmem_cache is about to be gone, we need to wait another rcu grace period before destroying the root kmem_cache. This issue can be triggered only with dynamically created kmem_caches which are used with memcg accounting. In this case per-memcg child kmem_caches are created. They are deactivated from the cgroup removing path. If the destruction of the root kmem_cache is racing with the removal of the cgroup (both are quite complicated multi-stage processes), the described issue can occur. The only known way to trigger it in the real life, is to unload some kernel module which creates a dedicated kmem_cache, used from different memory cgroups with GFP_ACCOUNT flag. If the unloading happens immediately after calling rmdir on the corresponding cgroup, there is some chance to trigger the issue.
