When I use kfree_rcu() to free a large memory allocated by kmalloc_node(), the following dump occurs. BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000020 [...] Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP [...] Workqueue: events kfree_rcu_work RIP: 0010:__obj_to_index include/linux/slub_def.h:182 [inline] RIP: 0010:obj_to_index include/linux/slub_def.h:191 [inline] RIP: 0010:memcg_slab_free_hook+0x120/0x260 mm/slab.h:363 [...] Call Trace: kmem_cache_free_bulk+0x58/0x630 mm/slub.c:3293 kfree_bulk include/linux/slab.h:413 [inline] kfree_rcu_work+0x1ab/0x200 kernel/rcu/tree.c:3300 process_one_work+0x207/0x530 kernel/workqueue.c:2276 worker_thread+0x320/0x610 kernel/workqueue.c:2422 kthread+0x13d/0x160 kernel/kthread.c:313 ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30 arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:294 When kmalloc_node() a large memory, page is allocated, not slab, so when freeing memory via kfree_rcu(), this large memory should not be used by memcg_slab_free_hook(), because memcg_slab_free_hook() is is used for slab. Using page_objcgs_check() instead of page_objcgs() in memcg_slab_free_hook() to fix this bug.
