[PATCH 4.19 47/65] memcg: fix NULL pointer dereference in __mem_cgroup_usage_unregister_event

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

From: Chunguang Xu <brookxu@tencent.com>

commit 7d36665a5886c27ca4c4d0afd3ecc50b400f3587 upstream.

An eventfd monitors multiple memory thresholds of the cgroup, closes them,
the kernel deletes all events related to this eventfd.  Before all events
are deleted, another eventfd monitors the memory threshold of this cgroup,
leading to a crash:

We can reproduce this problem in the following ways:

1. We create a new cgroup subdirectory and a new eventfd, and then we
   monitor multiple memory thresholds of the cgroup through this eventfd.

2.  closing this eventfd, and __mem_cgroup_usage_unregister_event ()
   will be called multiple times to delete all events related to this
   eventfd.

The first time __mem_cgroup_usage_unregister_event() is called, the
kernel will clear all items related to this eventfd in thresholds->
primary.

Since there is currently only one eventfd, thresholds-> primary becomes
empty, so the kernel will set thresholds-> primary and hresholds-> spare
to NULL.  If at this time, the user creates a new eventfd and monitor
the memory threshold of this cgroup, kernel will re-initialize
thresholds-> primary.

Then when __mem_cgroup_usage_unregister_event () is called for the
second time, because thresholds-> primary is not empty, the system will
access thresholds-> spare, but thresholds-> spare is NULL, which will
trigger a crash.

In general, the longer it takes to delete all events related to this
eventfd, the easier it is to trigger this problem.

The solution is to check whether the thresholds associated with the
eventfd has been cleared when deleting the event.  If so, we do nothing.
