[PATCH] mm: memcontrol: fix NULL-ptr deref in percpu stats flush

From: Shakeel Butt
Date: Fri Oct 18 2019 - 12:52:47 EST


__mem_cgroup_free() can be called on the failure path in
mem_cgroup_alloc(). However memcg_flush_percpu_vmstats() and
memcg_flush_percpu_vmevents() which are called from __mem_cgroup_free()
access the fields of memcg which can potentially be null if called from
failure path from mem_cgroup_alloc(). Indeed syzbot has reported the
following crash:

Fixing this by moving the flush to mem_cgroup_free as there is no need
to flush anything if we see failure in mem_cgroup_alloc().
