    s390/kvm: fix deadlock when killed by oom · 306d6c49
    Claudio Imbrenda 提交于
    When the oom killer kills a userspace process in the page fault handler
    while in guest context, the fault handler fails to release the mm_sem
    if the FAULT_FLAG_RETRY_NOWAIT option is set. This leads to a deadlock
    when tearing down the mm when the process terminates. This bug can only
    happen when pfault is enabled, so only KVM clients are affected.
    
    The problem arises in the rare cases in which handle_mm_fault does not
    release the mm_sem. This patch fixes the issue by manually releasing
    the mm_sem when needed.
