mm/mempolicy: fix lock contention on mems_allowed
The mems_allowed field can be modified by other tasks, so it isn't safe to
access it with alloc_lock unlocked even in the current process context.
Say there are two tasks: A from cpusetA is performing set_mempolicy(2),
and B is changing cpusetA's cpuset.mems:
A (set_mempolicy) B (echo xx > cpuset.mems)
-------------------------------------------------------
pol = mpol_new();
update_tasks_nodemask(cpusetA) {
foreach t in cpusetA {
cpuset_change_task_nodemask(t) {
mpol_set_nodemask(pol) {
task_lock(t); // t could be A
new = f(A->mems_allowed);
update t->mems_allowed;
pol.create(pol, new);
task_unlock(t);
}
}
}
}
task_lock(A);
A->mempolicy = pol;
task_unlock(A);
In this case A's pol->nodes is computed by old mems_allowed, and could
be inconsistent with A's new mems_allowed.
While it is different when replacing vmas' policy: the pol->nodes is
gone wild only when current_cpuset_is_being_rebound():
A (mbind) B (echo xx > cpuset.mems)
-------------------------------------------------------
pol = mpol_new();
mmap_write_lock(A->mm);
cpuset_being_rebound = cpusetA;
update_tasks_nodemask(cpusetA) {
foreach t in cpusetA {
cpuset_change_task_nodemask(t) {
mpol_set_nodemask(pol) {
task_lock(t); // t could be A
mask = f(A->mems_allowed);
update t->mems_allowed;
pol.create(pol, mask);
task_unlock(t);
}
}
foreach v in A->mm {
if (cpuset_being_rebound == cpusetA)
pol.rebind(pol, cpuset.mems);
v->vma_policy = pol;
}
mmap_write_unlock(A->mm);
mmap_write_lock(t->mm);
mpol_rebind_mm(t->mm);
mmap_write_unlock(t->mm);
}
}
cpuset_being_rebound = NULL;
In this case, the cpuset.mems, which has already done updating, is finally
used for calculating pol->nodes, rather than A->mems_allowed. So it is OK
to call mpol_set_nodemask() with alloc_lock unlocked when doing mbind(2).
