[ Upstream commit 745e10146c ]
"cat /proc/slab_allocators" could hang forever on SMP machines with
kmemleak or object debugging enabled due to other CPUs running do_drain()
will keep making kmemleak_object or debug_objects_cache dirty and unable
to escape the first loop in leaks_show(),
do {
set_store_user_clean(cachep);
drain_cpu_caches(cachep);
...
} while (!is_store_user_clean(cachep));
For example,
do_drain
slabs_destroy
slab_destroy
kmem_cache_free
__cache_free
___cache_free
kmemleak_free_recursive
delete_object_full
__delete_object
put_object
free_object_rcu
kmem_cache_free
cache_free_debugcheck --> dirty kmemleak_object
One approach is to check cachep->name and skip both kmemleak_object and
debug_objects_cache in leaks_show(). The other is to set store_user_clean
after drain_cpu_caches() which leaves a small window between
drain_cpu_caches() and set_store_user_clean() where per-CPU caches could
be dirty again lead to slightly wrong information has been stored but
could also speed up things significantly which sounds like a good
compromise. For example,
# cat /proc/slab_allocators
0m42.778s # 1st approach
0m0.737s # 2nd approach
