In debugging an application that receives -ENOMEM from ib_reg_mr(), I
found that ib_umem_get() can fail because the pinned_vm count has
wrapped causing it to always be larger than the lock limit even with
RLIMIT_MEMLOCK set to RLIM_INFINITY.
The wrapping of pinned_vm occurs because the process that calls
ib_reg_mr() will have its mm->pinned_vm count incremented. Later a
different process with a different mm_struct than the one that
allocated the ib_umem struct ends up releasing it which results in
decrementing the new processes mm->pinned_vm count past zero and
wrapping.
I'm not entirely sure what circumstances cause a different process to
release the ib_umem than the one that allocated it but the kernel
stack trace of the freeing process from my situation looks like the
following:

The following patch fixes the issue by storing the pid struct of the
process that calls ib_umem_get() so that ib_umem_release and/or
ib_umem_account() can properly decrement the pinned_vm count of the
correct mm_struct.
