Subject: [PATCH] mm, oom_reaper: do not use siglock in try_oom_reaper
Date: Tue, 31 May 2016 09:23:43 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1464679423-30218-1-git-send-email-mhocko@kernel.org> (raw)
From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com>
Oleg has noted that siglock usage in try_oom_reaper is both pointless
and dangerous. signal_group_exit can be checked lockless. The problem
is that sighand becomes NULL in __exit_signal so we can crash.
Fixes: 3ef22dfff239 ("oom, oom_reaper: try to reap tasks which skip regular OOM killer path")

Hi Andrew,
Oleg has noticed this while reviewing http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160530173505.GA25287@redhat.com
this should go in 4.7.
