The patch titled
Subject: oom_kill.c: futex: delay the OOM reaper to allow time for proper futex cleanup
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
oom_killc-futex-delay-the-oom-reaper-to-allow-time-for-proper-futex-cleanup.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Nico Pache <npache@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: oom_kill.c: futex: delay the OOM reaper to allow time for proper futex cleanup
The pthread struct is allocated on PRIVATE|ANONYMOUS memory [1] which can
be targeted by the oom reaper. This mapping is used to store the futex
robust list head; the kernel does not keep a copy of the robust list and
instead references a userspace address to maintain the robustness during a
process death. A race can occur between exit_mm and the oom reaper that
allows the oom reaper to free the memory of the futex robust list before
the exit path has handled the futex death:
CPU1 CPU2
------------------------------------------------------------------------
page_fault
do_exit "signal"
wake_oom_reaper
oom_reaper
oom_reap_task_mm (invalidates mm)
exit_mm
exit_mm_release
futex_exit_release
futex_cleanup
exit_robust_list
get_user (EFAULT- can't access memory)
If the get_user EFAULT's, the kernel will be unable to recover the waiters
on the robust_list, leaving userspace mutexes hung indefinitely.
Delay the OOM reaper, allowing more time for the exit path to perform the
futex cleanup.
