Greg Thelen 0386bf385d kasan: add memcg kmem_cache test
Make a kasan test which uses a SLAB_ACCOUNT slab cache.  If the test is
run within a non default memcg, then it uncovers the bug fixed by
"kasan: drain quarantine of memcg slab objects"[1].

If run without fix [1] it shows "Slab cache still has objects", and the
kmem_cache structure is leaked.
Here's an unpatched kernel test:

 $ dmesg -c > /dev/null
 $ mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test
 $ echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/tasks
 $ modprobe test_kasan 2> /dev/null
 $ dmesg | grep -B1 still
 [ 123.456789] kasan test: memcg_accounted_kmem_cache allocate memcg accounted object
 [ 124.456789] kmem_cache_destroy test_cache: Slab cache still has objects

Kernels with fix [1] don't have the "Slab cache still has objects"
warning or the underlying leak.

The new test runs and passes in the default (root) memcg, though in the
root memcg it won't uncover the problem fixed by [1].

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
