If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 0872ecce7cf6c72c4122df507b3206a69681accd Author: Tong Tiangen <tongtiangen@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Sep 1 02:46:21 2021 +0000 riscv/vdso: make arch_setup_additional_pages wait for mmap_sem for write killable [ Upstream commit 8bb0ab3ae7a4dbe6cf32deb830cf2bdbf5736867 ] riscv architectures relying on mmap_sem for write in their arch_setup_additional_pages. If the waiting task gets killed by the oom killer it would block oom_reaper from asynchronous address space reclaim and reduce the chances of timely OOM resolving. Wait for the lock in the killable mode and return with EINTR if the task got killed while waiting.
