memcg_destroy_kmem_caches shutdowns in the first place kmem_caches under slab_mutex which involves freeing NUMA node structures for kmem_cache and only then under release_caches removes corresponding sysfs files for these caches. Which may lead to dereferencing NULL ptr on read. Lets remove sysfs files right there. Fixes the following panic: [43963.463055] BUG: unable to handle kernel [43963.463090] NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000020 [43963.463146] IP: [<ffffffff811c6959>] list_locations+0x169/0x4e0 [43963.463185] PGD 257304067 PUD 438456067 PMD 0 [43963.463220] Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP [43963.463850] CPU: 3 PID: 973074 Comm: cat ve: 0 Not tainted 3.10.0-229.7.2.ovz.9.30-00007-japdoll-dirty #2 9.30 [43963.463913] Hardware name: DEPO Computers To Be Filled By O.E.M./H67DE3, BIOS L1.60c 07/14/2011 [43963.463976] task: ffff88042a5dc5b0 ti: ffff88037f8d8000 task.ti: ffff88037f8d8000 [43963.464036] RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff811c6959>] [<ffffffff811c6959>] list_locations+0x169/0x4e0 [43963.464725] Call Trace: [43963.464756] [<ffffffff811c6d1d>] alloc_calls_show+0x1d/0x30 [43963.464793] [<ffffffff811c15ab>] slab_attr_show+0x1b/0x30 [43963.464829] [<ffffffff8125d27a>] sysfs_read_file+0x9a/0x1a0 [43963.464865] [<ffffffff811e3c6c>] vfs_read+0x9c/0x170 [43963.464900] [<ffffffff811e4798>] SyS_read+0x58/0xb0 [43963.464936] [<ffffffff81612d49>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b [43963.464970] Code: 5e 07 12 00 b9 00 04 00 00 3d 00 04 00 00 0f 4f c1 3d 00 04 00 00 89 45 b0 0f 84 c3 00 00 00 48 63 45 b0 49 8b 9c c4 f8 00 00 00 <48> 8b 43 20 48 85 c0 74 b6 48 89 df e8 46 37 44 00 48 8b 53 10 [43963.465119] RIP [<ffffffff811c6959>] list_locations+0x169/0x4e0 [43963.465155] RSP <ffff88037f8dbe28> [43963.465185] CR2: 0000000000000020 Cc: Vladimir Davydov <vdavydov@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Dmitry Safonov <dsafonov@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- mm/slab_common.c | 10 ++++------ mm/slub.c | 6 ------ 2 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) diff --git a/mm/slab_common.c b/mm/slab_common.c index b50aef0..6725eb3 100644 --- a/mm/slab_common.c +++ b/mm/slab_common.c @@ -468,13 +468,8 @@ static void release_caches(struct list_head *release, bool need_rcu_barrier) if (need_rcu_barrier) rcu_barrier(); - list_for_each_entry_safe(s, s2, release, list) { -#ifdef SLAB_SUPPORTS_SYSFS - sysfs_slab_remove(s); -#else + list_for_each_entry_safe(s, s2, release, list) slab_kmem_cache_release(s); -#endif - } } #if defined(CONFIG_MEMCG) && !defined(CONFIG_SLOB) @@ -614,6 +609,9 @@ void memcg_destroy_kmem_caches(struct mem_cgroup *memcg) list_for_each_entry_safe(s, s2, &slab_caches, list) { if (is_root_cache(s) || s->memcg_params.memcg != memcg) continue; + + sysfs_slab_remove(s); + /* * The cgroup is about to be freed and therefore has no charges * left.
