Subject: [PATCH v2 4/4] oom_kill: add rcu_read_lock() into find_lock_task_mm()
Date: Wed, 4 Dec 2013 14:04:20 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20131204130420.GA6017@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20131204130351.GA5984@redhat.com>

find_lock_task_mm() expects it is called under rcu or tasklist lock,
but it seems that at least oom_unkillable_task()->task_in_mem_cgroup()
and mem_cgroup_out_of_memory()->oom_badness() can call it lockless.

Perhaps we could fix the callers, but this patch simply adds rcu lock
into find_lock_task_mm(). This also allows to simplify a bit one of its
callers, oom_kill_process().
