mainlining shenanigans

David Rientjes has reported the following memory corruption while the
oom reaper tries to unmap the victims address space
BUG: Bad page map in process oom_reaper pte:6353826300000000 pmd:00000000
addr:00007f50cab1d000 vm_flags:08100073 anon_vma:ffff9eea335603f0 mapping: (null) index:7f50cab1d
file: (null) fault: (null) mmap: (null) readpage: (null)
CPU: 2 PID: 1001 Comm: oom_reaper
Call Trace:
unmap_page_range+0x1068/0x1130
__oom_reap_task_mm+0xd5/0x16b
oom_reaper+0xff/0x14c
kthread+0xc1/0xe0
Tetsuo Handa has noticed that the synchronization inside exit_mmap is
insufficient. We only synchronize with the oom reaper if
tsk_is_oom_victim which is not true if the final __mmput is called from
a different context than the oom victim exit path. This can trivially
happen from context of any task which has grabbed mm reference (e.g. to
read /proc/<pid>/ file which requires mm etc.).
The race would look like this
oom_reaper oom_victim task
mmget_not_zero
do_exit
mmput
__oom_reap_task_mm mmput
__mmput
exit_mmap
remove_vma
unmap_page_range
Fix this issue by providing a new mm_is_oom_victim() helper which
operates on the mm struct rather than a task. Any context which
operates on a remote mm struct should use this helper in place of
tsk_is_oom_victim. The flag is set in mark_oom_victim and never cleared
so it is stable in the exit_mmap path.
Debugged by Tetsuo Handa.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
