Subject: oom: stop allocating user memory if TIF_MEMDIE is set
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=462e00cc7151;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

oom: stop allocating user memory if TIF_MEMDIE is set

get_user_pages() can try to allocate a nearly unlimited amount of memory on
behalf of a user process, even if that process has been OOM killed.  The
OOM kill occurs upon return to user space via a SIGKILL, but
get_user_pages() will try allocate all its memory before returning.  Change
get_user_pages() to check for TIF_MEMDIE, and if set then return
immediately.
