Subject: [33/44] net: Fix the condition passed to sk_wait_event()
Date: Tue, 07 Dec 2010 16:04:32 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101208000642.874563691@clark.site> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20101208003205.GA4286@kroah.com>
2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Nagendra Tomar <tomer_iisc@yahoo.com>
[ Upstream commit 482964e56e1320cb7952faa1932d8ecf59c4bf75 ]
This patch fixes the condition (3rd arg) passed to sk_wait_event() in
sk_stream_wait_memory(). The incorrect check in sk_stream_wait_memory()
causes the following soft lockup in tcp_sendmsg() when the global tcp
memory pool has exhausted.

>>> snip <<<
What is happening is, that the sk_wait_event() condition passed from
sk_stream_wait_memory() evaluates to true for the case of tcp global memory
exhaustion. This is because both sk_stream_memory_free() and vm_wait are true
which causes sk_wait_event() to *not* call schedule_timeout().
Hence sk_stream_wait_memory() returns immediately to the caller w/o sleeping.
This causes the caller to again try allocation, which again fails and again
calls sk_stream_wait_memory(), and so on.
