[ Upstream commit e68599a3c3ad0f3171a7cb4e48aa6f9a69381902 ]
Mike Galbraith reported a regression caused by the commit 9b6f7e163cd0 ("mm: rework memcg kernel stack accounting") on a system with "cgroup_disable=memory" boot option: the system panics with the following stack trace:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000000000000f8 PGD 0 P4D 0 Oops: 0002 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: systemd Not tainted 4.19.0-preempt+ #410 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS ?-20180531_142017-buildhw-08.phx2.fed4 RIP: 0010:page_counter_try_charge+0x22/0xc0 Code: 41 5d c3 c3 0f 1f 40 00 0f 1f 44 00 00 48 85 ff 0f 84 a7 00 00 00 41 56 48 89 f8 49 89 fe 49 Call Trace: try_charge+0xcb/0x780 memcg_kmem_charge_memcg+0x28/0x80 memcg_kmem_charge+0x8b/0x1d0 copy_process.part.41+0x1ca/0x2070 _do_fork+0xd7/0x3d0 do_syscall_64+0x5a/0x180 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe
The problem occurs because get_mem_cgroup_from_current() returns the NULL pointer if memory controller is disabled. Let's check if this is a case at the beginning of memcg_kmem_charge() and just return 0 if mem_cgroup_disabled() returns true. This is how we handle this case in many other places in the memory controller code.
