Subject: [PATCH] kexec: Bail out upon SIGKILL when allocating memory.
Date: Fri, 14 Jun 2019 19:16:18 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <993c9185-d324-2640-d061-bed2dd18b1f7@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <000000000000c0103a058b2ba0ec@google.com>

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.
