quarantine_remove_cache() frees all pending objects that belong to the
cache, before we destroy the cache itself. However there are currently
two possibilities how it can fail to do so.First, another thread can hold some of the objects from the cache in
temp list in quarantine_put(). quarantine_put() has a windows of
enabled interrupts, and on_each_cpu() in quarantine_remove_cache() can
finish right in that window. These objects will be later freed into the
destroyed cache.Then, quarantine_reduce() has the same problem. It grabs a batch of
objects from the global quarantine, then unlocks quarantine_lock and
then frees the batch. quarantine_remove_cache() can finish while some
objects from the cache are still in the local to_free list in
quarantine_reduce().Fix the race with quarantine_put() by disabling interrupts for the whole
duration of quarantine_put(). In combination with on_each_cpu() in
quarantine_remove_cache() it ensures that quarantine_remove_cache()
either sees the objects in the per-cpu list or in the global list.Fix the race with quarantine_reduce() by protecting quarantine_reduce()
with srcu critical section and then doing synchronize_srcu() at the end
of quarantine_remove_cache().I've done some assessment of how good synchronize_srcu() works in this
case. And on a 4 CPU VM I see that it blocks waiting for pending read
critical sections in about 2-3% of cases. Which looks good to me.I suspect that these races are the root cause of some GPFs that I
episodically hit. Previously I did not have any explanation for them.BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000000000000c8

seen it few times during our massive continuous testing (however, it
could be cause of some other episodic stray crashes as it leads to
memory corruption...). If it is triggered, the consequences are very
bad -- almost definite bad memory corruption. The fix is non trivial
and has chances of introducing new bugs. I am also not sure how

We see reported stalls/lockups in quarantine_remove_cache() on machines
with large amounts of RAM. quarantine_remove_cache() needs to scan
whole quarantine in order to take out all objects belonging to the
cache. Quarantine is currently 1/32-th of RAM, e.g. on a machine with
256GB of memory that will be 8GB. Moreover quarantine scanning is a
walk over uncached linked list, which is slow.Add cond_resched() after scanning of each non-empty batch of objects.
Batches are specifically kept of reasonable size for quarantine_put().
On a machine with 256GB of RAM we should have ~512 non-empty batches,
each with 16MB of objects.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170308154239.25440-1-dvyukov@google.com

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.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1482257462-36948-1-git-send-email-gthelen@google.com

Currently we dedicate 1/32 of RAM for quarantine and then reduce it by
1/4 of total quarantine size. This can be a significant amount of
memory. For example, with 4GB of RAM total quarantine size is 128MB and
it is reduced by 32MB at a time. With 128GB of RAM total quarantine
size is 4GB and it is reduced by 1GB. This leads to several problems:- freeing 1GB can take tens of seconds, causes rcu stall warnings and
just introduces unexpected long delays at random places
- if kmalloc() is called under a mutex, other threads stall on that
mutex while a thread reduces quarantine
- threads wait on quarantine_lock while one thread grabs a large batch
of objects to evict
- we walk the uncached list of object to free twice which makes all of
the above worse
- when a thread frees objects, they are already not accounted against
global_quarantine.bytes; as the result we can have quarantine_size
bytes in quarantine + unbounded amount of memory in large batches in
threads that are in process of freeingReduce size of quarantine in smaller batches to reduce the delays. The
only reason to reduce it in batches is amortization of overheads, the
new batch size of 1MB should be well enough to amortize spinlock
lock/unlock and few function calls.Plus organize quarantine as a FIFO array of batches. This allows to not
walk the list in quarantine_reduce() under quarantine_lock, which in
turn reduces contention and is just faster.This improves performance of heavy load (syzkaller fuzzing) by ~20% with
4 CPUs and 32GB of RAM. Also this eliminates frequent (every 5 sec)
drops of CPU consumption from ~400% to ~100% (one thread reduces
quarantine while others are waiting on a mutex).Some reference numbers:
1. Machine with 4 CPUs and 4GB of memory. Quarantine size 128MB.
Currently we free 32MB at at time.
With new code we free 1MB at a time (1024 batches, ~128 are used).
2. Machine with 32 CPUs and 128GB of memory. Quarantine size 4GB.
Currently we free 1GB at at time.
With new code we free 8MB at a time (1024 batches, ~512 are used).
3. Machine with 4096 CPUs and 1TB of memory. Quarantine size 32GB.
Currently we free 8GB at at time.
With new code we free 4MB at a time (16K batches, ~8K are used).Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1478756952-18695-1-git-send-email-dvyukov@google.com

quarantines won't fit into the given fraction of the available memory.

amount of memory assigned to per-cpu quarantines, |new_quarantine_size|
may overflow. Instead, set it to zero.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: cleanup: use WARN_ONCE return value]

The state of object currently tracked in two places - shadow memory, and
the ->state field in struct kasan_alloc_meta. We can get rid of the
latter. The will save us a little bit of memory. Also, this allow us
to move free stack into struct kasan_alloc_meta, without increasing
memory consumption. So now we should always know when the last time the
object was freed. This may be useful for long delayed use-after-free
bugs.As a side effect this fixes following UBSAN warning:

There are two bugs on qlist_move_cache(). One is that qlist's tail
isn't set properly. curr->next can be NULL since it is singly linked
list and NULL value on tail is invalid if there is one item on qlist.
Another one is that if cache is matched, qlist_put() is called and it
will set curr->next to NULL. It would cause to stop the loop
prematurely.These problems come from complicated implementation so I'd like to
re-implement it completely. Implementation in this patch is really
simple. Iterate all qlist_nodes and put them to appropriate list.Unfortunately, I got this bug sometime ago and lose oops message. But,
the bug looks trivial and no need to attach oops.Fixes: 55834c59098d ("mm: kasan: initial memory quarantine implementation")

Quarantine isolates freed objects in a separate queue. The objects are
returned to the allocator later, which helps to detect use-after-free
errors.When the object is freed, its state changes from KASAN_STATE_ALLOC to
KASAN_STATE_QUARANTINE. The object is poisoned and put into quarantine
instead of being returned to the allocator, therefore every subsequent
access to that object triggers a KASAN error, and the error handler is
able to say where the object has been allocated and deallocated.When it's time for the object to leave quarantine, its state becomes
KASAN_STATE_FREE and it's returned to the allocator. From now on the
allocator may reuse it for another allocation. Before that happens,
it's still possible to detect a use-after free on that object (it
retains the allocation/deallocation stacks).When the allocator reuses this object, the shadow is unpoisoned and old
allocation/deallocation stacks are wiped. Therefore a use of this
object, even an incorrect one, won't trigger ASan warning.Without the quarantine, it's not guaranteed that the objects aren't
reused immediately, that's why the probability of catching a
use-after-free is lower than with quarantine in place.Quarantine isolates freed objects in a separate queue. The objects are
returned to the allocator later, which helps to detect use-after-free
errors.Freed objects are first added to per-cpu quarantine queues. When a
cache is destroyed or memory shrinking is requested, the objects are
moved into the global quarantine queue. Whenever a kmalloc call allows
memory reclaiming, the oldest objects are popped out of the global queue
until the total size of objects in quarantine is less than 3/4 of the
maximum quarantine size (which is a fraction of installed physical
memory).As long as an object remains in the quarantine, KASAN is able to report
accesses to it, so the chance of reporting a use-after-free is
increased. Once the object leaves quarantine, the allocator may reuse
it, in which case the object is unpoisoned and KASAN can't detect
incorrect accesses to it.Right now quarantine support is only enabled in SLAB allocator.
Unification of KASAN features in SLAB and SLUB will be done later.This patch is based on the "mm: kasan: quarantine" patch originally
prepared by Dmitry Chernenkov. A number of improvements have been
suggested by Andrey Ryabinin.[glider@google.com: v9]
