mm: fix race between kmem_cache destroy, create and deactivate
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 To fix this race, on root kmem cache destruction, mark the cache as dying and flush the workqueue used for memcg kmem cache creation and deactivation. SLUB's memcg kmem cache deactivation also includes RCU callback and thus make sure all previous registered RCU callbacks have completed as well.
