Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.14 18/32] slab: fix a crash by reading /proc/slab_allocators
Date: Fri, 26 Apr 2019 21:42:09 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190427014224.8274-18-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190427014224.8274-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Qian Cai <cai@lca.pw>
[ Upstream commit fcf88917dd435c6a4cb2830cb086ee58605a1d85 ]
The commit 510ded33e075 ("slab: implement slab_root_caches list")
changes the name of the list node within "struct kmem_cache" from "list"
to "root_caches_node", but leaks_show() still use the "list" which
causes a crash when reading /proc/slab_allocators.
You need to have CONFIG_SLAB=y and CONFIG_MEMCG=y to see the problem,
because without MEMCG all slab caches are root caches, and the "list"
node happens to be the right one.
Fixes: 510ded33e075 ("slab: implement slab_root_caches list")
