Subject: oom: introduce find_lock_task_mm() to fix !mm false positives
From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>
Almost all ->mm == NULL checks in oom_kill.c are wrong.
The current code assumes that the task without ->mm has already released
its memory and ignores the process. However this is not necessarily true
when this process is multithreaded, other live sub-threads can use this
->mm.
- Remove the "if (!p->mm)" check in select_bad_process(), it is
just wrong.
- Add the new helper, find_lock_task_mm(), which finds the live
thread which uses the memory and takes task_lock() to pin ->mm
- change oom_badness() to use this helper instead of just checking
->mm != NULL.
- As David pointed out, select_bad_process() must never choose the
task without ->mm, but no matter what oom_badness() returns the
task can be chosen if nothing else has been found yet.
Change oom_badness() to return int, change it to return -1 if
find_lock_task_mm() fails, and change select_bad_process() to
check points >= 0.
Note! This patch is not enough, we need more changes.
- oom_badness() was fixed, but oom_kill_task() still ignores
the task without ->mm
- oom_forkbomb_penalty() should use find_lock_task_mm() too,
and it also needs other changes to actually find the first
first-descendant children
This will be addressed later.
