memcg: fix possible use-after-free in memcg_kmem_get_cache() 



Suppose task @t that belongs to a memory cgroup @memcg is going to
allocate an object from a kmem cache @c.  The copy of @c corresponding to
@memcg, @MC, is empty.  Then if kmem_cache_alloc races with the memory
cgroup destruction we can access the memory cgroup's copy of the cache
after it was destroyed:

CPU0				CPU1
----				----
[ current=@t
  @mc->memcg_params->nr_pages=0 ]

kmem_cache_alloc(@c):
  call memcg_kmem_get_cache(@c);
  proceed to allocation from @MC:
    alloc a page for @MC:
      ...

				move @t from @memcg
				destroy @memcg:
				  mem_cgroup_css_offline(@memcg):
				    memcg_unregister_all_caches(@memcg):
				      kmem_cache_destroy(@MC)

    add page to @MC

We could fix this issue by taking a reference to a per-memcg cache, but
that would require adding a per-cpu reference counter to per-memcg caches,
which would look cumbersome.

Instead, let's take a reference to a memory cgroup, which already has a
per-cpu reference counter, in the beginning of kmem_cache_alloc to be
dropped in the end, and move per memcg caches destruction from css offline
to css free.  As a side effect, per-memcg caches will be destroyed not one
by one, but all at once when the last page accounted to the memory cgroup
is freed.  This doesn't sound as a high price for code readability though.

Note, this patch does add some overhead to the kmem_cache_alloc hot path,
but it is pretty negligible - it's just a function call plus a per cpu
counter decrement, which is comparable to what we already have in
memcg_kmem_get_cache.  Besides, it's only relevant if there are memory
cgroups with kmem accounting enabled.  I don't think we can find a way to
handle this race w/o it, because alloc_page called from kmem_cache_alloc
may sleep so we can't flush all pending kmallocs w/o reference counting.
