Subject: [PATCH v3 01/21] mm/slab: add rcu_barrier() to kvfree_rcu_barrier_on_cache()
Date: Fri, 16 Jan 2026 15:40:21 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260116-sheaves-for-all-v3-1-5595cb000772@suse.cz> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260116-sheaves-for-all-v3-0-5595cb000772@suse.cz>

After we submit the rcu_free sheaves to call_rcu() we need to make sure
the rcu callbacks complete. kvfree_rcu_barrier() does that via
flush_all_rcu_sheaves() but kvfree_rcu_barrier_on_cache() doesn't. Fix
that.

This currently causes no issues because the caches with sheaves we have
are never destroyed. The problem flagged by kernel test robot was
reported for a patch that enables sheaves for (almost) all caches, and
occurred only with CONFIG_KASAN. Harry Yoo found the root cause [1]:

  It turns out the object freed by sheaf_flush_unused() was in KASAN
  percpu quarantine list (confirmed by dumping the list) by the time
  __kmem_cache_shutdown() returns an error.

  Quarantined objects are supposed to be flushed by kasan_cache_shutdown(),
  but things go wrong if the rcu callback (rcu_free_sheaf_nobarn()) is
  processed after kasan_cache_shutdown() finishes.

  That's why rcu_barrier() in __kmem_cache_shutdown() didn't help,
  because it's called after kasan_cache_shutdown().

  Calling rcu_barrier() in kvfree_rcu_barrier_on_cache() guarantees
  that it'll be added to the quarantine list before kasan_cache_shutdown()
  is called. So it's a valid fix!
