mm: kmemleak: ensure that the task stack is not freed during scanning
Commit 68f24b08ee89 ("sched/core: Free the stack early if CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK") may cause the task->stack to be freed during kmemleak_scan() execution, leading to either a NULL pointer fault (if task->stack is NULL) or kmemleak accessing already freed memory. This patch uses the new try_get_task_stack() API to ensure that the task stack is not freed during kmemleak stack scanning. Addresses https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=173901. Fixes: 68f24b08ee89 ("sched/core: Free the stack early if CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK") Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1476266223-14325-1-git-send-email-catalin.marinas@arm.com Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Reported-by: CAI Qian <caiqian@redhat.com> Tested-by: CAI Qian <caiqian@redhat.com> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Cc: CAI Qian <caiqian@redhat.com> Cc: Hillf Danton <hillf.zj@alibaba-inc.com> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
