This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled mm/slub: fix stack overruns with SLUB_STATS to the 4.19-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: mm-slub-fix-stack-overruns-with-slub_stats.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.19 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 40d9df1fff53576094bee0501f1961433452cf19 Author: Qian Cai <cai@xxxxxx> Date: Mon Jun 1 21:45:57 2020 -0700 mm/slub: fix stack overruns with SLUB_STATS [ Upstream commit a68ee0573991e90af2f1785db309206408bad3e5 ] There is no need to copy SLUB_STATS items from root memcg cache to new memcg cache copies. Doing so could result in stack overruns because the store function only accepts 0 to clear the stat and returns an error for everything else while the show method would print out the whole stat. Then, the mismatch of the lengths returns from show and store methods happens in memcg_propagate_slab_attrs(): else if (root_cache->max_attr_size < ARRAY_SIZE(mbuf)) buf = mbuf; max_attr_size is only 2 from slab_attr_store(), then, it uses mbuf[64] in show_stat() later where a bounch of sprintf() would overrun the stack variable. Fix it by always allocating a page of buffer to be used in show_stat() if SLUB_STATS=y which should only be used for debug purpose. # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/slab/fs_cache/shrink BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in number+0x421/0x6e0 Write of size 1 at addr ffffc900256cfde0 by task kworker/76:0/53251 Hardware name: HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen10/ProLiant DL385 Gen10, BIOS A40 07/10/2019 Workqueue: memcg_kmem_cache memcg_kmem_cache_create_func Call Trace: number+0x421/0x6e0 vsnprintf+0x451/0x8e0 sprintf+0x9e/0xd0 show_stat+0x124/0x1d0 alloc_slowpath_show+0x13/0x20 __kmem_cache_create+0x47a/0x6b0 addr ffffc900256cfde0 is located in stack of task kworker/76:0/53251 at offset 0 in frame: process_one_work+0x0/0xb90 this frame has 1 object: [32, 72) 'lockdep_map' Memory state around the buggy address: ffffc900256cfc80: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ffffc900256cfd00: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 >ffffc900256cfd80: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 f1 f1 f1 f1 ^ ffffc900256cfe00: 00 00 00 00 00 f2 f2 f2 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ffffc900256cfe80: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ================================================================== Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: __kmem_cache_create+0x6ac/0x6b0 Workqueue: memcg_kmem_cache memcg_kmem_cache_create_func Call Trace: __kmem_cache_create+0x6ac/0x6b0 Fixes: 107dab5c92d5 ("slub: slub-specific propagation changes") Signed-off-by: Qian Cai <cai@xxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Glauber Costa <glauber@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Christoph Lameter <cl@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@xxxxxxx> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200429222356.4322-1-cai@xxxxxx Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx> diff --git a/mm/slub.c b/mm/slub.c index 473e0a8afb802..882a1e0ae89c8 100644 --- a/mm/slub.c +++ b/mm/slub.c @@ -5610,7 +5610,8 @@ static void memcg_propagate_slab_attrs(struct kmem_cache *s) */ if (buffer) buf = buffer; - else if (root_cache->max_attr_size < ARRAY_SIZE(mbuf)) + else if (root_cache->max_attr_size < ARRAY_SIZE(mbuf) && + !IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SLUB_STATS)) buf = mbuf; else { buffer = (char *) get_zeroed_page(GFP_KERNEL);
