Since exit_mmap() is done without the protection of mm->mmap_sem, it is
possible for the oom reaper to concurrently operate on an mm until
MMF_OOM_SKIP is set.
This allows munlock_vma_pages_all() to concurrently run while the oom
reaper is operating on a vma. Since munlock_vma_pages_range() depends on
clearing VM_LOCKED from vm_flags before actually doing the munlock to
determine if any other vmas are locking the same memory, the check for
VM_LOCKED in the oom reaper is racy.
This is especially noticeable on architectures such as powerpc where
clearing a huge pmd requires serialize_against_pte_lookup(). If the pmd
is zapped by the oom reaper during follow_page_mask() after the check for
pmd_none() is bypassed, this ends up deferencing a NULL ptl or a kernel
oops.
Fix this by manually freeing all possible memory from the mm before doing
the munlock and then setting MMF_OOM_SKIP. The oom reaper can not run on
the mm anymore so the munlock is safe to do in exit_mmap(). It also
matches the logic that the oom reaper currently uses for determining when
to set MMF_OOM_SKIP itself, so there's no new risk of excessive oom
killing.
This issue fixes CVE-2018-1000200.
Fixes: 212925802454 ("mm: oom: let oom_reap_task and exit_mmap run concurrently")
