mm: memcontrol: fix possible memcg leak due to interrupted reclaim

Browse Source 
Memory cgroup reclaim can be interrupted with mem_cgroup_iter_break()
once enough pages have been reclaimed, in which case, in contrast to a
full round-trip over a cgroup sub-tree, the current position stored in
mem_cgroup_reclaim_iter of the target cgroup does not get invalidated
and so is left holding the reference to the last scanned cgroup.  If the
target cgroup does not get scanned again (we might have just reclaimed
the last page or all processes might exit and free their memory
voluntary), we will leak it, because there is nobody to put the
reference held by the iterator.

The problem is easy to reproduce by running the following command
sequence in a loop:

    mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test
    echo 100M > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/memory.limit_in_bytes
    echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/cgroup.procs
    memhog 150M
    echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/cgroup.procs
    rmdir test

The cgroups generated by it will never get freed.

This patch fixes this issue by making mem_cgroup_iter avoid taking
reference to the current position.  In order not to hit use-after-free
bug while running reclaim in parallel with cgroup deletion, we make use
of ->css_released cgroup callback to clear references to the dying
cgroup in all reclaim iterators that might refer to it.  This callback
is called right before scheduling rcu work which will free css, so if we
access iter->position from rcu read section, we might be sure it won't
go away under us.
