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().
