commit 5da7cb193db32da783a3f3e77d8b639989321d48 upstream. Memory passed to kvfree_rcu() that is to be freed is tracked by a per-CPU kfree_rcu_cpu structure, which in turn contains pointers to kvfree_rcu_bulk_data structures that contain pointers to memory that has not yet been handed to RCU, along with an kfree_rcu_cpu_work structure that tracks the memory that has already been handed to RCU. These structures track three categories of memory: (1) Memory for kfree(), (2) Memory for kvfree(), and (3) Memory for both that arrived during an OOM episode. The first two categories are tracked in a cache-friendly manner involving a dynamically allocated page of pointers (the aforementioned kvfree_rcu_bulk_data structures), while the third uses a simple (but decidedly cache-unfriendly) linked list through the rcu_head structures in each block of memory. On a given CPU, these three categories are handled as a unit, with that CPU's kfree_rcu_cpu_work structure having one pointer for each of the three categories. Clearly, new memory for a given category cannot be placed in the corresponding kfree_rcu_cpu_work structure until any old memory has had its grace period elapse and thus has been removed. And the kfree_rcu_monitor() function does in fact check for this. Except that the kfree_rcu_monitor() function checks these pointers one at a time. This means that if the previous kfree_rcu() memory passed to RCU had only category 1 and the current one has only category 2, the kfree_rcu_monitor() function will send that current category-2 memory along immediately. This can result in memory being freed too soon, that is, out from under unsuspecting RCU readers. To see this, consider the following sequence of events, in which: o Task A on CPU 0 calls rcu_read_lock(), then uses "from_cset", then is preempted. o CPU 1 calls kfree_rcu(cset, rcu_head) in order to free "from_cset" after a later grace period. Except that "from_cset" is freed right after the previous grace period ended, so that "from_cset" is immediately freed. Task A resumes and references "from_cset"'s member, after which nothing good happens. In full detail: CPU 0 CPU 1 ---------------------- ---------------------- count_memcg_event_mm() |rcu_read_lock() <--- |mem_cgroup_from_task() |// css_set_ptr is the "from_cset" mentioned on CPU 1 |css_set_ptr = rcu_dereference((task)->cgroups) |// Hard irq comes, current task is scheduled out. cgroup_attach_task() |cgroup_migrate() |cgroup_migrate_execute() |css_set_move_task(task, from_cset, to_cset, true) |cgroup_move_task(task, to_cset) |rcu_assign_pointer(.., to_cset) |... |cgroup_migrate_finish() |put_css_set_locked(from_cset) |from_cset->refcount return 0 |kfree_rcu(cset, rcu_head) // free from_cset after new gp |add_ptr_to_bulk_krc_lock() |schedule_delayed_work(&krcp->monitor_work, ..) kfree_rcu_monitor() |krcp->bulk_head[0]'s work attached to krwp->bulk_head_free[] |queue_rcu_work(system_wq, &krwp->rcu_work) |if rwork->rcu.work is not in WORK_STRUCT_PENDING_BIT state, |call_rcu(&rwork->rcu, rcu_work_rcufn) <--- request new gp // There is a perious call_rcu(.., rcu_work_rcufn) // gp end, rcu_work_rcufn() is called. rcu_work_rcufn() |__queue_work(.., rwork->wq, &rwork->work); |kfree_rcu_work() |krwp->bulk_head_free[0] bulk is freed before new gp end!!! |The "from_cset" is freed before new gp end. // the task resumes some time later. |css_set_ptr->subsys[(subsys_id) <--- Caused kernel crash, because css_set_ptr is freed. This commit therefore causes kfree_rcu_monitor() to refrain from moving kfree_rcu() memory to the kfree_rcu_cpu_work structure until the RCU grace period has completed for all three categories. v2: Use helper function instead of inserted code block at kfree_rcu_monitor().

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 Restructured Text 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.
