kasan: drain quarantine of memcg slab objects
Per memcg slab accounting and kasan have a problem with kmem_cache
destruction.
- kmem_cache_create() allocates a kmem_cache, which is used for
allocations from processes running in root (top) memcg.
- Processes running in non root memcg and allocating with either
__GFP_ACCOUNT or from a SLAB_ACCOUNT cache use a per memcg
kmem_cache.
- Kasan catches use-after-free by having kfree() and kmem_cache_free()
defer freeing of objects. Objects are placed in a quarantine.
- kmem_cache_destroy() destroys root and non root kmem_caches. It takes
care to drain the quarantine of objects from the root memcg's
kmem_cache, but ignores objects associated with non root memcg. This
causes leaks because quarantined per memcg objects refer to per memcg
kmem cache being destroyed.
To see the problem:
1) create a slab cache with kmem_cache_create(,,,SLAB_ACCOUNT,)
2) from non root memcg, allocate and free a few objects from cache
3) dispose of the cache with kmem_cache_destroy() kmem_cache_destroy()
will trigger a "Slab cache still has objects" warning indicating
that the per memcg kmem_cache structure was leaked.
Fix the leak by draining kasan quarantined objects allocated from non
root memcg.
Racing memcg deletion is tricky, but handled. kmem_cache_destroy() =>
shutdown_memcg_caches() => __shutdown_memcg_cache() => shutdown_cache()
flushes per memcg quarantined objects, even if that memcg has been
rmdir'd and gone through memcg_deactivate_kmem_caches().
This leak only affects destroyed SLAB_ACCOUNT kmem caches when kasan is
enabled. So I don't think it's worth patching stable kernels.
