From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx> Subject: mm: workingset: fix NULL ptr in count_shadow_nodes 0a6b76dd23fa ("mm: workingset: make shadow node shrinker memcg aware") has made the workingset shadow nodes shrinker memcg aware. The implementation is not correct though because memcg_kmem_enabled() might become true while we are doing a global reclaim when the sc->memcg might be NULL which is exactly what Marek has seen: [ 15.665196] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000400 [ 15.665213] IP: [<ffffffff8122d520>] mem_cgroup_node_nr_lru_pages+0x20/0x40 [ 15.665225] PGD 0 [ 15.665230] Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP [ 15.665285] CPU: 0 PID: 60 Comm: kswapd0 Tainted: G O 4.8.10-12.pvops.qubes.x86_64 #1 [ 15.665292] task: ffff880011863b00 task.stack: ffff880011868000 [ 15.665297] RIP: e030:[<ffffffff8122d520>] [<ffffffff8122d520>] mem_cgroup_node_nr_lru_pages+0x20/0x40 [ 15.665307] RSP: e02b:ffff88001186bc70 EFLAGS: 00010293 [ 15.665311] RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffff88001186bd20 RCX: 0000000000000002 [ 15.665317] RDX: 000000000000000c RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: 0000000000000000 [ 15.665322] RBP: ffff88001186bc70 R08: 28f5c28f5c28f5c3 R09: 0000000000000000 [ 15.665327] R10: 0000000000006c34 R11: 0000000000000333 R12: 00000000000001f6 [ 15.665332] R13: ffffffff81c6f6a0 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: 0000000000000000 [ 15.665343] FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff880013c00000(0000) knlGS:ffff880013d00000 [ 15.665351] CS: e033 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [ 15.665358] CR2: 0000000000000400 CR3: 00000000122f2000 CR4: 0000000000042660 [ 15.665366] Stack: [ 15.665371] ffff88001186bc98 ffffffff811e0dda 00000000000002eb 0000000000000080 [ 15.665384] ffffffff81c6f6a0 ffff88001186bd70 ffffffff811c36d9 0000000000000000 [ 15.665397] ffff88001186bcb0 ffff88001186bcb0 ffff88001186bcc0 000000000000abc5 [ 15.665410] Call Trace: [ 15.665419] [<ffffffff811e0dda>] count_shadow_nodes+0x9a/0xa0 [ 15.665428] [<ffffffff811c36d9>] shrink_slab.part.42+0x119/0x3e0 [ 15.666049] [<ffffffff811c83ec>] shrink_node+0x22c/0x320 [ 15.666049] [<ffffffff811c928c>] kswapd+0x32c/0x700 [ 15.666049] [<ffffffff811c8f60>] ? mem_cgroup_shrink_node+0x180/0x180 [ 15.666049] [<ffffffff810c1b08>] kthread+0xd8/0xf0 [ 15.666049] [<ffffffff817a3abf>] ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x40 [ 15.666049] [<ffffffff810c1a30>] ? kthread_create_on_node+0x190/0x190 [ 15.666049] Code: 66 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 0f 1f 44 00 00 3b 35 dd eb b1 00 55 48 89 e5 73 2c 89 d2 31 c9 31 c0 4c 63 ce 48 0f a3 ca 73 13 <4a> 8b b4 cf 00 04 00 00 41 89 c8 4a 03 84 c6 80 00 00 00 83 c1 [ 15.666049] RIP [<ffffffff8122d520>] mem_cgroup_node_nr_lru_pages+0x20/0x40 [ 15.666049] RSP <ffff88001186bc70> [ 15.666049] CR2: 0000000000000400 [ 15.666049] ---[ end trace 100494b9edbdfc4d ]--- This patch fixes the issue by checking sc->memcg rather than memcg_kmem_enabled() which is sufficient because shrink_slab makes sure that only memcg aware shrinkers will get non-NULL memcgs and only if memcg_kmem_enabled is true.
