mm/slub: fix stack overruns with SLUB_STATS
stable inclusion from linux-4.19.132 commit 3e632652e3dc186d61d584258becf9ca69ae2f3a -------------------------------- [ Upstream commit a68ee057 ] There is no need to copy SLUB_STATS items from root memcg cache to new memcg cache copies. Doing so could result in stack overruns because the store function only accepts 0 to clear the stat and returns an error for everything else while the show method would print out the whole stat. Then, the mismatch of the lengths returns from show and store methods happens in memcg_propagate_slab_attrs(): else if (root_cache->max_attr_size < ARRAY_SIZE(mbuf)) buf = mbuf; max_attr_size is only 2 from slab_attr_store(), then, it uses mbuf[64] in show_stat() later where a bounch of sprintf() would overrun the stack variable. Fix it by always allocating a page of buffer to be used in show_stat() if SLUB_STATS=y which should only be used for debug purpose. # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/slab/fs_ca...
