[PATCH 3.12 004/146] oom_kill: add rcu_read_lock() into find_lock_task_mm()

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

 



From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit 4d4048be8a93769350efa31d2482a038b7de73d0 upstream.

find_lock_task_mm() expects it is called under rcu or tasklist lock, but
it seems that at least oom_unkillable_task()->task_in_mem_cgroup() and
mem_cgroup_out_of_memory()->oom_badness() can call it lockless.

Perhaps we could fix the callers, but this patch simply adds rcu lock
into find_lock_task_mm().  This also allows to simplify a bit one of its
callers, oom_kill_process().
