From 6df38689e0e9a07ff4f42c06b302e203b33667e9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vladimir Davydov Date: Tue, 29 Dec 2015 14:54:10 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm: memcontrol: fix possible memcg leak due to interrupted reclaim Memory cgroup reclaim can be interrupted with mem_cgroup_iter_break() once enough pages have been reclaimed, in which case, in contrast to a full round-trip over a cgroup sub-tree, the current position stored in mem_cgroup_reclaim_iter of the target cgroup does not get invalidated and so is left holding the reference to the last scanned cgroup. If the target cgroup does not get scanned again (we might have just reclaimed the last page or all processes might exit and free their memory voluntary), we will leak it, because there is nobody to put the reference held by the iterator. The problem is easy to reproduce by running the following command sequence in a loop: mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test echo 100M > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/memory.limit_in_bytes echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/cgroup.procs memhog 150M echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/cgroup.procs rmdir test The cgroups generated by it will never get freed. This patch fixes this issue by making mem_cgroup_iter avoid taking reference to the current position. In order not to hit use-after-free bug while running reclaim in parallel with cgroup deletion, we make use of ->css_released cgroup callback to clear references to the dying cgroup in all reclaim iterators that might refer to it. This callback is called right before scheduling rcu work which will free css, so if we access iter->position from rcu read section, we might be sure it won't go away under us.
