Presumably this is the same as

Very likely.

This looks like a reference count unbalance when memcg is released
early. My first guess would be 1a3e1f40962c ("mm: memcontrol: decouple
reference counting from page accounting").

Unless I am missing something nothing really prevents the memcg for the
current batch to go away. uncharge_page collects all the charges for the
same memcg but it later drops the reference for the current page. Later
on when the memcg changes or when the final clean up is done in uncharge_list
uncharge_batch needs to access memcg but this might be after the last
page dropped the reference and memcg went away. The whole process of
tear down is quite complex and takes some time with all the RCU/WQ
involvement so this is quite unlikely to hit.

That being said the below should cure the reference count but I am not
sure this is a complete fix. If this looks reasonable I will post the
full patch. Johannes?

This is not a proper fix because uncharge_gather_clear is called also to
initialize the initial state so ug->memcg would be a garbage from the
stack. The proper fix with the full changelog should be. Let's add more

1a3e1f40962c ("mm: memcontrol: decouple reference counting from page
accounting") has reworked the memcg lifetime to be bound the the struct
page rather than charges. It has also removed the css_put_many from
uncharge_batch and that is causing the above splat. uncharge_batch is
supposed to uncharge accumulated charges for all pages freed from the
same memcg. The queuing is done by uncharge_page which however drops the
memcg reference after it adds charges to the batch. If the current page
happens to be the last one holding the reference for its memcg then the
memcg is OK to go and the next page to be freed will trigger batched
uncharge which needs to access the memcg which is gone already.

Fix the issue by taking a reference for the memcg in the current batch.

Nice catch! The fix looks correct - ug now holds a reference count for
its ug->memcg pointer.
