Subject[PATCH] mm: fix race between kmem_cache destroy, create and deactivate
Date
The memcg kmem cache creation and deactivation (SLUB only) is
asynchronous. If a root kmem cache is destroyed whose memcg cache is in
the process of creation or deactivation, the kernel may crash.

Example of one such crash:
general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI
CPU: 1 PID: 1721 Comm: kworker/14:1 Not tainted 4.17.0-smp
...
Workqueue: memcg_kmem_cache kmemcg_deactivate_workfn
RIP: 0010:has_cpu_slab
...
Call Trace:
? on_each_cpu_cond
__kmem_cache_shrink
kmemcg_cache_deact_after_rcu
kmemcg_deactivate_workfn
process_one_work
worker_thread
kthread
ret_from_fork+0x35/0x40

This issue is due to the lack of reference counting for the root
kmem_caches. There exist a refcount in kmem_cache but it is actually a
count of aliases i.e. number of kmem_caches merged together.

This patch make alias count explicit and adds reference counting to the
root kmem_caches. The reference of a root kmem cache is elevated on
merge and while its memcg kmem_cache is in the process of creation or
deactivation.
