[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.2 47/63] kexec: bail out upon SIGKILL when allocating memory.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 7c3a6aedcd6aae0a32a527e68669f7dd667492d1 ]

syzbot found that a thread can stall for minutes inside kexec_load() after
that thread was killed by SIGKILL [1].  It turned out that the reproducer
was trying to allocate 2408MB of memory using kimage_alloc_page() from
kimage_load_normal_segment().  Let's check for SIGKILL before doing memory
allocation.
