Hmm, I disagree your patch is a fix for mainline. At least, a cgroup
before completion of
create() is not populated to userland and you never be able to rmdir()
it because you can't
find it.

Hm, what is the call 0x3012a8 ?
pc = list_entry(list->prev, struct page_cgroup, lru);
if (busy == pc) {
list_move(&pc->lru, list);
busy = 0;
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&zone->lru_lock, flags);
continue;
}
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&zone->lru_lock, flags);<---- is
call 0x3012a8
ret = mem_cgroup_move_parent(pc, mem, GFP_KERNEL);
and mov 0x8(%ebx),%esi
is dereferencing of 'pc' in inlined mem_cgroup_move_parent
Ah, thank you for input..then panicd at accessing pc->page and "pc"
was 0xfffffff4.
it means list->prev was NULL.
yes, that's the case.
I've looked at vmcore once more and indeed there isn't any parallel task
that touches cgroups code path.
Will investigate if it is xen to blame for incorrect data in place.
Thanks very much for your opinion.
What curious to me is that the fact "list->prev" is NULL.
I can see why you doubt the initialization code ....the list pointer never
contains NULL once it's used....
it smells like memory corruption or some to me. If you have vmcore,
what the problematic mem_cgroup_per_zone(node) contains ?
it has all zeros except for last field:

It looks like a very targeted corruption of the first zone except of
the last field, while the second zone and the rest are perfectly
normal (i.e. have empty initialized lists).
Hmm, ok, thank you. Then, mem_cgroup_pre_zone[] was initialized once.
In this kind of case, I tend to check slab header of memory object f3446a00,
or check whether f3446a00 is an alive slab object or not.
It looks like f3446a00 alive/allocated object

EDI on the first iteration should be 0 however it is a88c8840 according to Oops
dump and looking at -0x18(%ebp) in core shows 0 as it should be:
crash> x/xw 0xf201deb4-0x18
0xf201de9c: 0x00000000
so it looks like EDI is incorrectly restored by Xen or at the moment when 0xc080b948
was executed -0x18(%ebp) had that weird value.
It is possible that invalid EDI value and following
0xc080b950<mem_cgroup_create+224>: lea (%edi,%edx,8),%esi
<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=700565#c36>lead to some

0xc080b962<mem_cgroup_create+242>: mov %eax,0x4(%eax)
silently go to that page. Than after init lists loop it uses correct pn offset from
-0x14(%ebp) and initialises the rest fields of structure on the correct page.
mz->usage_in_excess = 0;
mz->on_tree = false;
mz->mem = mem;

0xc080b990<mem_cgroup_create+288>: jne 0xc080b948
which could lead to the 0-ed list entries of the first zone
and the originally reported Oops in mem_cgroup_force_empty.
Afterwards it looks like:
0xc080b985<mem_cgroup_create+277>: addl $0x1,-0x18(%ebp)
-0x18(%ebp) is read correctly and the rest of 3 mz entries are initialized as
expected.
So question is why and how
0xc080b948<mem_cgroup_create+216>: imul $0x7c,-0x18(%ebp),%edi
may be screwed up
PS:
However, memory search for the went astray writes of the first entry
i.e. sequesnce f3446a00 f3446a00 in a couple of vmcores didn't give
any positive results.
Thanks,
-Kame
PS:
It most easily reproduced only on xen hvm 32bit guest under heavy
vcpus contention for real cpus resources (i.e. I had to overcommit
cpus and run several cpu hog tasks on host to make guest crash on
reboot cycle).
And from last experiments, crash happens only on on hosts that
doesn't have hap feature or if hap is disabled in hypervisor.
Thanks,
-Kame
