From effe24bdd41ef790b30c9ac02ede3703937c6ba0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: will schmidt Date: Wed, 13 Jun 2007 01:19:01 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] [POWERPC] During VM oom condition, kill all threads in process group We have had complaints where a threaded application is left in a bad state after one of it's threads is killed when we hit a VM: out_of_memory condition. Killing just one of the process threads can leave the application in a bad state, whereas killing the entire process group would allow for the application to restart, or be otherwise handled, and makes it very obvious that something has gone wrong. This change allows the entire process group to be taken down, rather than just the one thread. lightly tested on powerpc Signed-off-by: Will Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras --- arch/powerpc/mm/fault.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/arch/powerpc/mm/fault.c b/arch/powerpc/mm/fault.c index bfe901353142..fd176840a595 100644 --- a/arch/powerpc/mm/fault.c +++ b/arch/powerpc/mm/fault.c @@ -381,7 +381,7 @@ out_of_memory: } printk("VM: killing process %s\n", current->comm); if (user_mode(regs)) - do_exit(SIGKILL); + do_group_exit(SIGKILL); return SIGKILL; do_sigbus: -- 2.20.1
