I updated this patch to use tsk->signal->oom_mm (a snapshot of tsk->mm saved by mark_oom_victim(tsk)) rather than raw tsk->mm so that we don't need to worry about possibility of changing tsk->mm across multiple wake_oom_reaper(tsk) calls. >From 9c9e935fc038342c48461aabca666f1b544e32b1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 26 Jan 2019 21:57:25 +0900 Subject: [PATCH v2] oom, oom_reaper: do not enqueue same task twice Arkadiusz reported that enabling memcg's group oom killing causes strange memcg statistics where there is no task in a memcg despite the number of tasks in that memcg is not 0. It turned out that there is a bug in wake_oom_reaper() which allows enqueuing same task twice which makes impossible to decrease the number of tasks in that memcg due to a refcount leak. This bug existed since the OOM reaper became invokable from task_will_free_mem(current) path in out_of_memory() in Linux 4.7, but memcg's group oom killing made it easier to trigger this bug by calling wake_oom_reaper() on the same task from one out_of_memory() request. Fix this bug using an approach used by commit 855b018325737f76 ("oom, oom_reaper: disable oom_reaper for oom_kill_allocating_task"). As a side effect of this patch, this patch also avoids enqueuing multiple threads sharing memory via task_will_free_mem(current) path.
