Subject: slab: fix oops when reading /proc/slab_allocators
From: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@xxxxxxx>
commit 03787301420376ae41fbaf4267f4a6253d152ac5 upstream.
Commit b1cb0982bdd6 ("change the management method of free objects of
the slab") introduced a bug on slab leak detector
('/proc/slab_allocators'). This detector works like as following
decription.
1. traverse all objects on all the slabs.
2. determine whether it is active or not.
3. if active, print who allocate this object.
but that commit changed the way how to manage free objects, so the logic
determining whether it is active or not is also changed. In before, we
regard object in cpu caches as inactive one, but, with this commit, we
mistakenly regard object in cpu caches as active one.
This intoduces kernel oops if DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is enabled. If
DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is enabled, kernel_map_pages() is used to detect who
corrupt free memory in the slab. It unmaps page table mapping if object
is free and map it if object is active. When slab leak detector check
object in cpu caches, it mistakenly think this object active so try to
access object memory to retrieve caller of allocation. At this point,
page table mapping to this object doesn't exist, so oops occurs.
Following is oops message reported from Dave.
It blew up when something tried to read /proc/slab_allocators
(Just cat it, and you should see the oops below)

RIP handle_slab+0x8a/0x180
To fix the problem, I introduce an object status buffer on each slab.
With this, we can track object status precisely, so slab leak detector
would not access active object and no kernel oops would occur. Memory
overhead caused by this fix is only imposed to CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB_LEAK
which is mainly used for debugging, so memory overhead isn't big
problem.
