slub: consider pfmemalloc_match() in get_partial_node()
get_partial() is currently not checking pfmemalloc_match() meaning that it
is possible for pfmemalloc pages to leak to non-pfmemalloc users. This is
a problem in the following situation. Assume that there is a request from
normal allocation and there are no objects in the per-cpu cache and no
node-partial slab.
In this case, slab_alloc enters the slow path and new_slab_objects() is
called which may return a PFMEMALLOC page. As the current user is not
allowed to access PFMEMALLOC page, deactivate_slab() is called ([
5091b74a:
mm: slub: optimise the SLUB fast path to avoid pfmemalloc checks]) and
returns an object from PFMEMALLOC page.
Next time, when we get another request from normal allocation,
slab_alloc() enters the slow-path and calls new_slab_objects(). In
new_slab_objects(), we call get_partial() and get a partial slab which was
just deactivated but is a pfmemalloc page. We extract one object from it
and re-deactivate.
"deactivate -> re-get in get_partial -> re-deactivate" occures repeatedly.
As a result, access to PFMEMALLOC page is not properly restricted and it
can cause a performance degradation due to frequent deactivation.
deactivation frequently.
This patch changes get_partial_node() to take pfmemalloc_match() into
account and prevents the "deactivate -> re-get in get_partial() scenario.
Instead, new_slab() is called.
