      mm: make mmap_sem for write waits killable for mm syscalls · dc0ef0df
      Michal Hocko 提交于
      This is a follow up work for oom_reaper [1].  As the async OOM killing
      depends on oom_sem for read we would really appreciate if a holder for
      write didn't stood in the way.  This patchset is changing many of
      down_write calls to be killable to help those cases when the writer is
      blocked and waiting for readers to release the lock and so help
      __oom_reap_task to process the oom victim.
      
      Most of the patches are really trivial because the lock is help from a
      shallow syscall paths where we can return EINTR trivially and allow the
      current task to die (note that EINTR will never get to the userspace as
      the task has fatal signal pending).  Others seem to be easy as well as
      the callers are already handling fatal errors and bail and return to
      userspace which should be sufficient to handle the failure gracefully.
      I am not familiar with all those code paths so a deeper review is really
      appreciated.
      
      As this work is touching more areas which are not directly connected I
      have tried to keep the CC list as small as possible and people who I
      believed would be familiar are CCed only to the specific patches (all
      should have received the cover though).
      
      This patchset is based on linux-next and it depends on
      down_write_killable for rw_semaphores which got merged into tip
      locking/rwsem branch and it is merged into this next tree.  I guess it
      would be easiest to route these patches via mmotm because of the
      dependency on the tip tree but if respective maintainers prefer other
      way I have no objections.
      
      I haven't covered all the mmap_write(mm->mmap_sem) instances here
      
        $ git grep "down_write(.*\<mmap_sem\>)" next/master | wc -l
        98
        $ git grep "down_write(.*\<mmap_sem\>)" | wc -l
        62
      
      I have tried to cover those which should be relatively easy to review in
      this series because this alone should be a nice improvement.  Other
      places can be changed on top.

      This patch (of 18):
      
      This is the first step in making mmap_sem write waiters killable.  It
      focuses on the trivial ones which are taking the lock early after
      entering the syscall and they are not changing state before.
      
      Therefore it is very easy to change them to use down_write_killable and
      immediately return with -EINTR.  This will allow the waiter to pass away
      without blocking the mmap_sem which might be required to make a forward
      progress.  E.g.  the oom reaper will need the lock for reading to
      dismantle the OOM victim address space.
      
      The only tricky function in this patch is vm_mmap_pgoff which has many
      call sites via vm_mmap.  To reduce the risk keep vm_mmap with the
      original non-killable semantic for now.
      
      vm_munmap callers do not bother checking the return value so open code
      it into the munmap syscall path for now for simplicity.

      mm: memcontrol: fix possible css ref leak on oom · 1383399d
      Vladimir Davydov 提交于
      mem_cgroup_oom may be invoked multiple times while a process is handling
      a page fault, in which case current->memcg_in_oom will be overwritten
      leaking the previously taken css reference.

      x86: remove more uaccess_32.h complexity · bd28b145
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      I'm looking at trying to possibly merge the 32-bit and 64-bit versions
      of the x86 uaccess.h implementation, but first this needs to be cleaned
      up.
      
      For example, the 32-bit version of "__copy_from_user_inatomic()" is
      mostly the special cases for the constant size, and it's actually almost
      never relevant.  Most users aren't actually using a constant size
      anyway, and the few cases that do small constant copies are better off
      just using __get_user() instead.
      
      So get rid of the unnecessary complexity.
