mm/slab_common: fix possible double free of kmem_cache
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When doing slub_debug test, kfence's 'test_memcache_typesafe_by_rcu'
kunit test case cause a use-after-free error:

  BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in kobject_del+0x14/0x30

The cause is inside kmem_cache_destroy():

kmem_cache_destroy
    acquire lock/mutex
    shutdown_cache
        schedule_work(kmem_cache_release) (if RCU flag set)
    release lock/mutex
    kmem_cache_release (if RCU flag not set)

In some certain timing, the scheduled work could be run before
the next RCU flag checking, which can then get a wrong value
and lead to double kmem_cache_release().

Fix it by caching the RCU flag inside protected area, just like 'refcnt'
