mm/kmemleak.c: wait for scan completion before disabling free
[ Upstream commit 914b6dfff790544d9b77dfd1723adb3745ec9700 ]
A crash is observed when kmemleak_scan accesses the object->pointer,
likely due to the following race.
TASK A TASK B TASK C
kmemleak_write
(with "scan" and
NOT "scan=on")
kmemleak_scan()
create_object
kmem_cache_alloc fails
kmemleak_disable
kmemleak_do_cleanup
kmemleak_free_enabled = 0
kfree
kmemleak_free bails out
(kmemleak_free_enabled is 0)
slub frees object->pointer
update_checksum
crash - object->pointer
freed (DEBUG_PAGEALLOC)
kmemleak_do_cleanup waits for the scan thread to complete, but not for
direct call to kmemleak_scan via kmemleak_write. So add a wait for
kmemleak_scan completion before disabling kmemleak_free, and while at it
fix the comment on stop_scan_thread.
