From: Wenwei Tao <wenwei.tww@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> By removing the child cgroup while the parent cgroup is under reclaim, we could trigger the following kernel panic on kernel 3.10: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kernel BUG at kernel/cgroup.c:893! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP CPU: 1 PID: 22477 Comm: kworker/1:1 Not tainted 3.10.107 #1 Workqueue: cgroup_destroy css_dput_fn task: ffff8817959a5780 ti: ffff8817e8886000 task.ti: ffff8817e8886000 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff810cd6e0>] [<ffffffff810cd6e0>] cgroup_diput+0xc0/0xf0 RSP: 0000:ffff8817e8887da0 EFLAGS: 00010246 RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffff8817a5dd5d40 RCX: dead000000000200 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: ffff8817973a6910 RDI: ffff8817f54c2a00 RBP: ffff8817e8887dc8 R08: ffff8817a5dd5dd0 R09: df9fb35794b01820 R10: df9fb35794b01820 R11: 00007fa95b1efcda R12: ffff8817a5dd5d9c R13: ffff8817f38b3a40 R14: ffff8817973a6910 R15: ffff8817973a6910 FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff88181f220000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 00007fa6e6234000 CR3: 000000179f19d000 CR4: 00000000000407e0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Stack: ffff8817a5dd5d40 ffff8817a5dd5d9c ffff8817f38b3a40 ffff8817973a6910 0000000000000040 ffff8817e8887df8 ffffffff811b37c2 ffff8817fa23c000 ffff8817f57dbb80 ffff88181f232ac0 ffff88181f237500 ffff8817e8887e10 Call Trace: [<ffffffff811b37c2>] dput+0x1a2/0x2f0 [<ffffffff810cbacc>] cgroup_dput.isra.21+0x1c/0x30 [<ffffffff810cbafd>] css_dput_fn+0x1d/0x20 [<ffffffff81078ebc>] process_one_work+0x17c/0x460 [<ffffffff81079b66>] worker_thread+0x116/0x3b0 [<ffffffff81079a50>] ? manage_workers.isra.25+0x290/0x290 [<ffffffff81080330>] kthread+0xc0/0xd0 [<ffffffff81080270>] ? insert_kthread_work+0x40/0x40 [<ffffffff815b1e08>] ret_from_fork+0x58/0x90 [<ffffffff81080270>] ? insert_kthread_work+0x40/0x40 Code: 41 5e 41 5f 5d c3 0f 1f 44 00 00 48 8b 7f 78 48 8b 07 a8 01 74 15 48 81 c7 30 01 00 00 48 c7 c6 a0 a7 0c 81 e8 b2 83 02 00 eb c8 <0f> 0b 49 8b 4e 18 48 c7 c2 7e f1 7a 81 be 85 03 00 00 48 c7 c7 RIP [<ffffffff810cd6e0>] cgroup_diput+0xc0/0xf0 RSP <ffff8817e8887da0> ---[ end trace 85eeea5212c44f51 ]--- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I think there is a css double put in mem_cgroup_iter. Under reclaim, we call mem_cgroup_iter the first time with prev == NULL, and we get last_visited memcg from per zone's reclaim_iter then call __mem_cgroup_iter_next try to get next alive memcg, __mem_cgroup_iter_next could return NULL if last_visited is already the last one so we put the last_visited's memcg css and continue to the next while loop, this time we might not do css_tryget(&last_visited->css) if the dead_count is changed, but we still do css_put(&last_visited->css), we put it twice, this could trigger the BUG_ON at kernel/cgroup.c:893.
