mm/memcontrol.c: fix use after free in mem_cgroup_iter()

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1845038

commit 54a83d6b upstream.

This patch is sent to report an use after free in mem_cgroup_iter()
after merging commit be265775 ("mm: memcg: fix use after free in
mem_cgroup_iter()").

I work with android kernel tree (4.9 & 4.14), and commit be265775
("mm: memcg: fix use after free in mem_cgroup_iter()") has been merged
to the trees.  However, I can still observe use after free issues
addressed in the commit be265775.  (on low-end devices, a few times
this month)

backtrace:
        css_tryget <- crash here
        mem_cgroup_iter

        __alloc_pages_nodemask

To debug, I poisoned mem_cgroup before freeing it:

  static void __mem_cgroup_free(struct mem_cgroup *memcg)
        for_each_node(node)
        free_mem_cgroup_per_node_info(memcg, node);
        free_percpu(memcg->stat);
  +     /* poison memcg before freeing it */
  +     memset(memcg, 0x78, sizeof(struct mem_cgroup));
        kfree(memcg);
  }

The coredump shows the position=0xdbbc2a00 is freed.

  (gdb) p/x ((struct mem_cgroup_per_node *)0xe5009e00)->iter[8]
  $13 = {position = 0xdbbc2a00, generation = 0x2efd}

In the reclaim path, try_to_free_pages() does not setup
sc.target_mem_cgroup and sc is passed to do_try_to_free_pages(), ...,
shrink_node().

In mem_cgroup_iter(), root is set to root_mem_cgroup because
sc->target_mem_cgroup is NULL.  It is possible to assign a memcg to
root_mem_cgroup.nodeinfo.iter in mem_cgroup_iter().

        try_to_free_pages
        	struct scan_control sc = {...}, target_mem_cgroup is 0x0;
        do_try_to_free_pages
        shrink_zones
        shrink_node
        	 mem_cgroup *root = sc->target_mem_cgroup;
        	 memcg = mem_cgroup_iter(root, NULL, &reclaim);
        mem_cgroup_iter()
        	if (!root)
        		root = root_mem_cgroup;
        	...

        	css = css_next_descendant_pre(css, &root->css);
        	memcg = mem_cgroup_from_css(css);
        	cmpxchg(&iter->position, pos, memcg);

My device uses memcg non-hierarchical mode.  When we release a memcg:
invalidate_reclaim_iterators() reaches only dead_memcg and its parents.
If non-hierarchical mode is used, invalidate_reclaim_iterators() never
reaches root_mem_cgroup.

  static void invalidate_reclaim_iterators(struct mem_cgroup *dead_memcg)
  {
        struct mem_cgroup *memcg = dead_memcg;

        for (; memcg; memcg = parent_mem_cgroup(memcg)
        ...
  }

So the use after free scenario looks like:

  CPU1						CPU2

  try_to_free_pages
  do_try_to_free_pages
  shrink_zones
  shrink_node
  mem_cgroup_iter()
      if (!root)
      	root = root_mem_cgroup;
      ...
      css = css_next_descendant_pre(css, &root->css);
      memcg = mem_cgroup_from_css(css);
      cmpxchg(&iter->position, pos, memcg);

        				invalidate_reclaim_iterators(memcg);
        				...
        				__mem_cgroup_free()
        					kfree(memcg);

  try_to_free_pages
  do_try_to_free_pages
  shrink_zones
  shrink_node
  mem_cgroup_iter()
      if (!root)
      	root = root_mem_cgroup;
      ...
      mz = mem_cgroup_nodeinfo(root, reclaim->pgdat->node_id);
      iter = &mz->iter[reclaim->priority];
      pos = READ_ONCE(iter->position);
      css_tryget(&pos->css) <- use after free

To avoid this, we should also invalidate root_mem_cgroup.nodeinfo.iter
in invalidate_reclaim_iterators().
