    Subject[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 439/671] fork,memcg: alloc_thread_stack_node needs to set tsk->stack
    Date
    From: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com>

    [ Upstream commit 1bf4580e00a248a2c86269125390eb3648e1877c ]

    Commit 5eed6f1dff87 ("fork,memcg: fix crash in free_thread_stack on
    memcg charge fail") corrected two instances, but there was a third
    instance of this bug.

    Without setting tsk->stack, if memcg_charge_kernel_stack fails, it'll
    execute free_thread_stack() on a dangling pointer.

    Enterprise kernels are compiled with VMAP_STACK=y so this isn't
    critical, but custom VMAP_STACK=n builds should have some performance
    advantage, with the drawback of risking to fail fork because compaction
    didn't succeed. So as long as VMAP_STACK=n is a supported option it's
    worth fixing it upstream.
