Subject: [patch 2/2] mm, oom: fix race when specifying a thread as the oom
origin
test_set_oom_score_adj() and compare_swap_oom_score_adj() are used to
specify that current should be killed first if an oom condition occurs in
between the two calls.
The usage is
short oom_score_adj = test_set_oom_score_adj(OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX);
...
compare_swap_oom_score_adj(OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX, oom_score_adj);
to store the thread's oom_score_adj, temporarily change it to the maximum
score possible, and then restore the old value if it is still the same.
This happens to still be racy, however, if the user writes
OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX to /proc/pid/oom_score_adj in between the two calls.
The compare_swap_oom_score_adj() will then incorrectly reset the old
value prior to the write of OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX.
To fix this, introduce a new oom_flags_t member in struct signal_struct
that will be used for per-thread oom killer flags. KSM and swapoff can
now use a bit in this member to specify that threads should be killed
first in oom conditions without playing around with oom_score_adj.
This also allows the correct oom_score_adj to always be shown when
reading /proc/pid/oom_score.
