ziwei.dai 71cf9c9835 BACKPORT: FROMGIT: rcu: Avoid freeing new kfree_rcu() memory after old grace period
Memory passed to kvfree_rcu() that is to be freed is tracked by a
per-CPU kfree_rcu_cpu structure, which in turn contains pointers
to kvfree_rcu_bulk_data structures that contain pointers to memory
that has not yet been handed to RCU, along with an kfree_rcu_cpu_work
structure that tracks the memory that has already been handed to RCU.
These structures track three categories of memory: (1) Memory for
kfree(), (2) Memory for kvfree(), and (3) Memory for both that arrived
during an OOM episode.  The first two categories are tracked in a
cache-friendly manner involving a dynamically allocated page of pointers
(the aforementioned kvfree_rcu_bulk_data structures), while the third
uses a simple (but decidedly cache-unfriendly) linked list through the
rcu_head structures in each block of memory.

On a given CPU, these three categories are handled as a unit, with that
CPU's kfree_rcu_cpu_work structure having one pointer for each of the
three categories.  Clearly, new memory for a given category cannot be
placed in the corresponding kfree_rcu_cpu_work structure until any old
memory has had its grace period elapse and thus has been removed.  And
the kfree_rcu_monitor() function does in fact check for this.

Except that the kfree_rcu_monitor() function checks these pointers one
at a time.  This means that if the previous kfree_rcu() memory passed
to RCU had only category 1 and the current one has only category 2, the
kfree_rcu_monitor() function will send that current category-2 memory
along immediately.  This can result in memory being freed too soon,
that is, out from under unsuspecting RCU readers.

To see this, consider the following sequence of events, in which:

o       Task A on CPU 0 calls rcu_read_lock(), then uses "from_cset",
        then is preempted.

o       CPU 1 calls kfree_rcu(cset, rcu_head) in order to free "from_cset"
        after a later grace period.  Except that "from_cset" is freed
        right after the previous grace period ended, so that "from_cset"
        is immediately freed.  Task A resumes and references "from_cset"'s
        member, after which nothing good happens.

In full detail:

 |css_set_ptr->subsys[(subsys_id) <--- Caused kernel crash, because css_set_ptr is freed.

This commit therefore causes kfree_rcu_monitor() to refrain from moving
kfree_rcu() memory to the kfree_rcu_cpu_work structure until the RCU
grace period has completed for all three categories.

v2: Use helper function instead of inserted code block at kfree_rcu_monitor().

How do I submit patches to Android Common Kernels

  1. BEST: Make all of your changes to upstream Linux. If appropriate, backport to the stable releases. These patches will be merged automatically in the corresponding common kernels. If the patch is already in upstream Linux, post a backport of the patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.

    • Do not send patches upstream that contain only symbol exports. To be considered for upstream Linux, additions of EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() require an in-tree modular driver that uses the symbol -- so include the new driver or changes to an existing driver in the same patchset as the export.
    • When sending patches upstream, the commit message must contain a clear case for why the patch is needed and beneficial to the community. Enabling out-of-tree drivers or functionality is not not a persuasive case.
  2. LESS GOOD: Develop your patches out-of-tree (from an upstream Linux point-of-view). Unless these are fixing an Android-specific bug, these are very unlikely to be accepted unless they have been coordinated with kernel-team@android.com. If you want to proceed, post a patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.

Common Kernel patch requirements

  • All patches must conform to the Linux kernel coding standards and pass scripts/checkpatch.pl
  • Patches shall not break gki_defconfig or allmodconfig builds for arm, arm64, x86, x86_64 architectures (see https://source.android.com/setup/build/building-kernels)
  • If the patch is not merged from an upstream branch, the subject must be tagged with the type of patch: UPSTREAM:, BACKPORT:, FROMGIT:, FROMLIST:, or ANDROID:.
  • All patches must have a Change-Id: tag (see https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/user-changeid.html)
  • If an Android bug has been assigned, there must be a Bug: tag.
  • All patches must have a Signed-off-by: tag by the author and the submitter

Additional requirements are listed below based on patch type

Requirements for backports from mainline Linux: UPSTREAM:, BACKPORT:

  • If the patch is a cherry-pick from Linux mainline with no changes at all
    • tag the patch subject with UPSTREAM:.

    • Example:
      • if the upstream commit message is
        important patch from upstream

        This is the detailed description of the important patch

    • use the same tags as UPSTREAM:
    • add comments about the changes under the (cherry picked from commit ...) line
    • Example:
