David Rientjes has reported the following memory corruption while the
oom reaper tries to unmap the victims address space
BUG: Bad page map in process oom_reaper pte:6353826300000000 pmd:00000000
addr:00007f50cab1d000 vm_flags:08100073 anon_vma:ffff9eea335603f0 mapping: (null) index:7f50cab1d
file: (null) fault: (null) mmap: (null) readpage: (null)
CPU: 2 PID: 1001 Comm: oom_reaper
Call Trace:

Tetsuo Handa has noticed that the synchronization inside exit_mmap is
insufficient. We only synchronize with the oom reaper if tsk_is_oom_victim
which is not true if the final __mmput is called from a different context
than the oom victim exit path. This can trivially happen from context of
any task which has grabbed mm reference (e.g. to read /proc/<pid>/ file
which requires mm etc.). The race would look like this
oom_reaper oom_victim task
mmget_not_zero
do_exit
mmput
__oom_reap_task_mm mmput
__mmput
exit_mmap
remove_vma
unmap_page_range
Fix this issue by providing a new mm_is_oom_victim() helper which operates
on the mm struct rather than a task. Any context which operates on a remote
mm struct should use this helper in place of tsk_is_oom_victim. The flag is
set in mark_oom_victim and never cleared so it is stable in the exit_mmap
path.
Changes since v1
- set MMF_OOM_SKIP in exit_mmap only for the oom mm as suggested by
Tetsuo because there is no reason to set the flag unless we are
synchronizing with the oom reaper.
- do not modify values of other MMF_ flags and add MMF_OOM_VICTIM
as the last one as requested by David Rientjes because they have
"automated tools that look at specific bits in mm->flags and it would
be nice to not have them be inconsistent between kernel versions.
Not absolutely required, but nice to avoid"
