The initial implementation of checking TIF_MEMDIE covers the cases of OOM killing. If the process has been OOM killed, the TIF_MEMDIE is set and it return immediately. This patch includes: 1. add the case that the SIGKILL is sent by user processes. The process can try to get_user_pages() unlimited memory even if a user process has sent a SIGKILL to it(maybe a monitor find the process exceed its memory limit and try to kill it). In the old implementation, the SIGKILL won't be handled until the get_user_pages() returns. 2. change the return value to be ERESTARTSYS. It makes no sense to return ENOMEM if the get_user_pages returned by getting a SIGKILL signal. Considering the general convention for a system call interrupted by a signal is ERESTARTNOSYS, so the current return value is consistant to that. Lee: An unfortunate side effect of "make-get_user_pages-interruptible" is that it prevents a SIGKILL'd task from munlock-ing pages that it had mlocked, resulting in freeing of mlocked pages. Freeing of mlocked pages, in itself, is not so bad. We just count them now--altho' I had hoped to remove this stat and add PG_MLOCKED to the free pages flags check. However, consider pages in shared libraries mapped by more than one task that a task mlocked--e.g., via mlockall(). If the task that mlocked the pages exits via SIGKILL, these pages would be left mlocked and unevictable. Proposed fix: Add another GUP flag to ignore sigkill when calling get_user_pages from munlock()--similar to Kosaki Motohiro's 'IGNORE_VMA_PERMISSIONS flag for the same purpose. We are not actually allocating memory in this case, which "make-get_user_pages-interruptible" intends to avoid. We're just munlocking pages that are already resident and mapped, and we're reusing get_user_pages() to access those pages. ?? Maybe we should combine 'IGNORE_VMA_PERMISSIONS and '_IGNORE_SIGKILL into a single flag: GUP_FLAGS_MUNLOCK ???
