Laurent Dufour 22e4663e91 mm/slub: fix panic in slab_alloc_node()
While doing memory hot-unplug operation on a PowerPC VM running 1024 CPUs
with 11TB of ram, I hit the following panic:

    BUG: Kernel NULL pointer dereference on read at 0x00000007

This pointing to the following code:

    mm/slub.c:2851
            if (unlikely(!object || !node_match(page, node))) {
    c000000000456038:       00 00 bc 2f     cmpdi   cr7,r28,0
    c00000000045603c:       18 00 9e 41     beq     cr7,c000000000456054 <__kmalloc_node+0x114>
    node_match():
    mm/slub.c:2491
            if (node != NUMA_NO_NODE && page_to_nid(page) != node)
    c000000000456040:       30 02 92 41     beq     cr4,c000000000456270 <__kmalloc_node+0x330>
    page_to_nid():
    include/linux/mm.h:1294
    c000000000456044:       10 00 27 e9     ld      r9,16(r7)
    c000000000456048:       07 00 29 89     lbz     r9,7(r9)	<<<< r9 = NULL
    node_match():
    mm/slub.c:2491
    c00000000045604c:       00 48 99 7f     cmpw    cr7,r25,r9
    c000000000456050:       20 02 9e 41     beq     cr7,c000000000456270 <__kmalloc_node+0x330>

The panic occurred in slab_alloc_node() when checking for the page's node:

	object = c->freelist;
	page = c->page;
	if (unlikely(!object || !node_match(page, node))) {
		object = __slab_alloc(s, gfpflags, node, addr, c);
		stat(s, ALLOC_SLOWPATH);

The issue is that object is not NULL while page is NULL which is odd but
may happen if the cache flush happened after loading object but before
loading page.  Thus checking for the page pointer is required too.

The cache flush is done through an inter processor interrupt when a
piece of memory is off-lined.  That interrupt is triggered when a memory
hot-unplug operation is initiated and offline_pages() is calling the
slub's MEM_GOING_OFFLINE callback slab_mem_going_offline_callback()
which is calling flush_cpu_slab().  If that interrupt is caught between
the reading of c->freelist and the reading of c->page, this could lead
to such a situation.  That situation is expected and the later call to
this_cpu_cmpxchg_double() will detect the change to c->freelist and redo
the whole operation.

In commit 6159d0f5c0 ("mm/slub.c: page is always non-NULL in
node_match()") check on the page pointer has been removed assuming that
page is always valid when it is called.  It happens that this is not
true in that particular case, so check for page before calling
node_match() here.

Fixes: 6159d0f5c0 ("mm/slub.c: page is always non-NULL in node_match()")
