5.4.44-rt27-rc1 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Kevin Hao <haokexin@xxxxxxxxx>
After commit f0b231101c94 ("mm/SLUB: delay giving back empty slubs to
IRQ enabled regions"), when the free_slab() is invoked with the IRQ
disabled, the empty slubs are moved to a per-CPU list and will be
freed after IRQ enabled later. But in the current codes, there is
a check to see if there really has the cpu slub on a specific cpu
before flushing the delayed empty slubs, this may cause a reference
of already released kmem_cache in a scenario like below:
cpu 0 cpu 1
kmem_cache_destroy()
flush_all()
--->IPI flush_cpu_slab()
flush_slab()
deactivate_slab()
discard_slab()
free_slab()
c->page = NULL;
for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
if (!has_cpu_slab(1, s))
continue
this skip to flush the delayed
empty slub released by cpu1
kmem_cache_free(kmem_cache, s)
kmalloc()
__slab_alloc()
free_delayed()
__free_slab()
reference to released kmem_cache
