From: Greg Thelen <gthelen at google.com>

Per memcg slab accounting and kasan have a problem with kmem_cache
destruction.
 - kmem_cache_create() allocates a kmem_cache, which is used for
   allocations from processes running in root (top) memcg.
 - Processes running in non root memcg and allocating with either
   __GFP_ACCOUNT or from a SLAB_ACCOUNT cache use a per memcg
   kmem_cache.
 - Kasan catches use-after-free by having kfree() and kmem_cache_free()
   defer freeing of objects. Objects are placed in a quarantine.
 - kmem_cache_destroy() destroys root and non root kmem_caches. It takes
   care to drain the quarantine of objects from the root memcg's
   kmem_cache, but ignores objects associated with non root memcg. This
   causes leaks because quarantined per memcg objects refer to per memcg
   kmem cache being destroyed.

To see the problem:

 1) create a slab cache with kmem_cache_create(,,,SLAB_ACCOUNT,)
 2) from non root memcg, allocate and free a few objects from cache
 3) dispose of the cache with kmem_cache_destroy() kmem_cache_destroy()
    will trigger a "Slab cache still has objects" warning indicating
    that the per memcg kmem_cache structure was leaked.

Fix the leak by draining kasan quarantined objects allocated from non
root memcg.

Racing memcg deletion is tricky, but handled.  kmem_cache_destroy() =>
shutdown_memcg_caches() => __shutdown_memcg_cache() => shutdown_cache()
flushes per memcg quarantined objects, even if that memcg has been
rmdir'd and gone through memcg_deactivate_kmem_caches().

This leak only affects destroyed SLAB_ACCOUNT kmem caches when kasan is
enabled.  So I don't think it's worth patching stable kernels.
