tracefs: Do not allocate and free proxy_ops for lockdown
[ Attached the reproducers to this email ] From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@goodmis.org> Running the latest kernel through my "make instances" stress tests, I triggered the following bug (with KASAN and kmemleak enabled): mkdir invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x40cd0(GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_COMP|__GFP_RECLAIMABLE), order=0, oom_score_adj=0 CPU: 1 PID: 2229 Comm: mkdir Not tainted 5.4.0-rc2-test torvalds#325 Hardware name: MSI MS-7823/CSM-H87M-G43 (MS-7823), BIOS V1.6 02/22/2014 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x64/0x8c dump_header+0x43/0x3b7 ? trace_hardirqs_on+0x48/0x4a oom_kill_process+0x68/0x2d5 out_of_memory+0x2aa/0x2d0 __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x96d/0xb67 __alloc_pages_node+0x19/0x1e alloc_slab_page+0x17/0x45 new_slab+0xd0/0x234 ___slab_alloc.constprop.86+0x18f/0x336 ? alloc_inode+0x2c/0x74 ? irq_trace+0x12/0x1e ? tracer_hardirqs_off+0x1d/0xd7 ? __slab_alloc.constprop.85+0x21/0x53 __slab_alloc.constprop.85+0x31/0x53 ? __slab_alloc.constprop.85+0x31/0x53 ? alloc_inode+0x2c/0x74 kmem_cache_alloc+0x50/0x179 ? alloc_inode+0x2c/0x74 alloc_inode+0x2c/0x74 new_inode_pseudo+0xf/0x48 new_inode+0x15/0x25 tracefs_get_inode+0x23/0x7c ? lookup_one_len+0x54/0x6c tracefs_create_file+0x53/0x11d trace_create_file+0x15/0x33 event_create_dir+0x2a3/0x34b __trace_add_new_event+0x1c/0x26 event_trace_add_tracer+0x56/0x86 trace_array_create+0x13e/0x1e1 instance_mkdir+0x8/0x17 tracefs_syscall_mkdir+0x39/0x50 ? get_dname+0x31/0x31 vfs_mkdir+0x78/0xa3 do_mkdirat+0x71/0xb0 sys_mkdir+0x19/0x1b do_fast_syscall_32+0xb0/0xed I bisected this down to the addition of the proxy_ops into tracefs for lockdown. It appears that the allocation of the proxy_ops and then freeing it in the destroy_inode callback, is causing havoc with the memory system. Reading the documentation about destroy_inode, I'm not sure that this is the proper way to handle allocating and then freeing the fops of the inode. Instead of allocating the proxy_ops (and then having to free it), I created a static proxy_ops. As tracefs only uses a subset of all the file_operations methods, that subset can be defined in the static proxy_ops, and then the passed in fops during the creation of the inode is saved in the dentry, and that is use to call the real functions by the proxy_ops.
