* [PATCH] mm: verify page type before getting memcg from it @ 2020-01-16 14:10 Yafang Shao 2020-01-16 15:50 ` Michal Hocko 0 siblings, 1 reply; 4+ messages in thread From: Yafang Shao @ 2020-01-16 14:10 UTC (permalink / raw) To: dchinner, akpm; +Cc: linux-mm, Yafang Shao Per disccusion with Dave[1], we always assume we only ever put objects from memcg associated slab pages in the list_lru. In list_lru_from_kmem() it calls memcg_from_slab_page() which makes no attempt to verify the page is actually a slab page. But currently the binder coder (in drivers/android/binder_alloc.c) stores normal pages in the list_lru, rather than slab objects. The only reason the binder doesn't catch issue is that the list_lru is not configured to be memcg aware. In order to make it more stable, we should verify the page type before getting memcg from it. In this patch, a new helper is introduced and the old helper is modified. Now we have two helpers as bellow, struct mem_cgroup *__memcg_from_slab_page(struct page *page); struct mem_cgroup *memcg_from_slab_page(struct page *page); The first helper is used when we are sure the page is a slab page and also a head page, while the second helper is used when we are not sure the page type.

I actually have something similar in my patch queue, but I'm adding a helper which takes a kernel pointer rather than a page: struct mem_cgroup *mem_cgroup_from_obj(void *p); Will it work for you? If so, I can send it separately. (I'm working on switching to per-object accounting of slab object, so that slab pages will be shared between multiple cgroups. So it will require a change like this). Thanks! -- From fc2b1ec53285edcb0017275019d60bd577bf64a9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roman Gushchin <guro@fb.com> Date: Thu, 2 Jan 2020 15:22:19 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm: memcg/slab: introduce mem_cgroup_from_obj() Sometimes we need to get a memcg pointer from a charged kernel object. The right way to do it depends on whether it's a proper slab object or it's backed by raw pages (e.g. it's a vmalloc alloction). In the first case the kmem_cache->memcg_params.memcg indirection should be used, however in the the second case it's just page->mem_cgroup. To simplify this task and hide these implementation details let's introduce the mem_cgroup_from_obj() helper, which takes a pointer to any kernel object and returns a valid memcg pointer or NULL. The caller is still responsible to ensure that the returned memcg isn't going away underneath: take the rcu read lock, cgroup mutex etc. mem_cgroup_from_kmem() defined in mm/list_lru.c is now obsolete and can be removed.
