During the discussion, it was argued [1] that this is OK, because existing slabs on the node would prevent a hotremove to proceed. That's true, but per-node kmem_cache_node structures are not necessarily allocated on the same node and may exist even without actual slab pages on the same node. Any path that uses get_node() directly or via for_each_kmem_cache_node() (such as show_slab_objects()) can race with freeing of kmem_cache_node even with the !NULL check, resulting in use-after-free. To that end, commit e4f8e513c3d3 argues in a comment that: * We don't really need mem_hotplug_lock (to hold off * slab_mem_going_offline_callback) here because slab's memory hot * unplug code doesn't destroy the kmem_cache->node[] data. While it's true that slab_mem_going_offline_callback() doesn't free the kmem_cache_node, the later callback slab_mem_offline_callback() actually does, so the race and use-after-free exists. Not just for show_slab_objects() after commit e4f8e513c3d3, but also many other places that are not under slab_mutex. And adding slab_mutex locking or other synchronization to SLUB paths such as get_any_partial() would be bad for performance and error-prone. The easiest solution is therefore to make the abovementioned comment true and stop freeing the kmem_cache_node structures, accepting some wasted memory in the full memory node removal scenario. Analogically we also don't free hotremoved pgdat as mentioned in [1], nor the similar per-node structures in SLAB. Importantly this approach will not block the hotremove, as generally such nodes should be movable in order to succeed hotremove in the first place, and thus the GFP_KERNEL allocated kmem_cache_node will come from elsewhere.
