[Bug 2034510] [NEW] spl fails to unregister sysctl entries

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Ubuntu Foundations Team Bug Bot (crichton):

[Impact]

On unload the spl module is not properly cleaning up the registered
sysctl entries with kernel 6.5 in Mantic:

06:58 ubuntu at mantic$ sudo modprobe spl
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'spl': Protocol driver not attached
06:58 ubuntu at mantic$ sudo dmesg | grep duplicate
[  152.587197] sysctl duplicate entry: /kernel/spl/kmem/slab_kvmem_total

[Test case]

Uninstall zfsutils-linux and try to `modprobe -r zfs; modprobe -r spl`,
then `modprobe zfs` again and you should see the error (with a failure
to load spl again).

At this point it is possible to load spl again only after a reboot.

[Fix]

Properly cleanup all the registered sysctl entries when the spl module
is unloaded.

[Regression potential]

We may experience regressions in systems that are using zfs with the 6.5
kernel.
