Subject: [PATCH 1/1] fork,memcg: alloc_thread_stack_node needs to set tsk->stack
Date: Tue, 18 Jun 2019 21:14:50 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190619011450.28048-1-aarcange@redhat.com> (raw)

Commit 5eed6f1dff87bfb5e545935def3843edf42800f2 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.

Fixes: 9b6f7e163cd0 ("mm: rework memcg kernel stack accounting")
