It turned out, that the user namespace is released during
the do_exit() in exit_task_namespaces(), but the struct
user_struct is released only during the put_task_struct(),
i.e. MUCH later.
On debug kernels with poisoned slabs this will cause the
oops in uid_hash_remove() because the head of the chain,
which resides inside the struct user_namespace, will be
already freed and poisoned.
Since the uid hash itself is required only when someone
can search it, i.e. when the namespace is alive, we can
safely unhash all the user_struct-s from it during the
namespace exiting. The subsequent free_uid() will complete
the user_struct destruction.
For example simple program
#include <sched.h>
char stack[2 * 1024 * 1024];
int f(void *foo)
{
return 0;
}
int main(void)
{
clone(f, stack + 1 * 1024 * 1024, 0x10000000, 0);
return 0;
}
run on kernel with CONFIG_USER_NS turned on will oops the
kernel immediately.
This was spotted during OpenVZ kernel testing.

Good spot. Interesting solution :)
Looks good.

This is not a security issue at all. This BUG can be triggered only
by CAP_SYS_ADMIN capable task on the kernel with CONFIG_USER_NS=y,
which is an EXPERIMENTAL depending option.
