mm/slab: add rcu_barrier() to kvfree_rcu_barrier_on_cache()
After we submit the rcu_free sheaves to call_rcu() we need to make sure
the rcu callbacks complete. kvfree_rcu_barrier() does that via
flush_all_rcu_sheaves() but kvfree_rcu_barrier_on_cache() doesn't. Fix
that.
This currently causes no issues because the caches with sheaves we have
are never destroyed. The problem flagged by kernel test robot was
reported for a patch that enables sheaves for (almost) all caches, and
occurred only with CONFIG_KASAN. Harry Yoo found the root cause [1]:
It turns out the object freed by sheaf_flush_unused() was in KASAN
percpu quarantine list (confirmed by dumping the list) by the time
__kmem_cache_shutdown() returns an error.
Quarantined objects are supposed to be flushed by kasan_cache_shutdown(),
but things go wrong if the rcu callback (rcu_free_sheaf_nobarn()) is
processed after kasan_cache_shutdown() finishes.
That's why rcu_barrier() in __kmem_cache_shutdown() didn't help,
because it's called after kasan_cache_shutdown().
Calling rcu_barrier() in kvfree_rcu_barrier_on_cache() guarantees
that it'll be added to the quarantine list before kasan_cache_shutdown()
is called. So it's a valid fix!
