Subject: [PATCH] ib_umem_release should decrement mm->pinned_vm from ib_umem_get

From: Shawn Bohrer <sbohrer@...advisors.com>

In debugging an application that receives -ENOMEM from ib_reg_mr() I
found that ib_umem_get() can fail because the pinned_vm count has
wrapped causing it to always be larger than the lock limit even with
RLIMIT_MEMLOCK set to RLIM_INFINITY.

The wrapping of pinned_vm occurs because the process that calls
ib_reg_mr() will have its mm->pinned_vm count incremented.  Later a
different process with a different mm_struct than the one that allocated
the ib_umem struct ends up releasing it which results in decrementing
the new processes mm->pinned_vm count past zero and wrapping.

I'm not entirely sure what circumstances cause a different process to
release the ib_umem than the one that allocated it but the kernel stack
trace of the freeing process from my situation looks like the following:

Call Trace:

 [<ffffffffa0b522a5>] ib_umem_release+0x1f5/0x200 [ib_core]

 [<ffffffff810029e5>] do_notify_resume+0x95/0xa0
 [<ffffffff814e3dd0>] int_signal+0x12/0x17

The following patch fixes the issue by storing the mm_struct of the
process that calls ib_umem_get() so that ib_umem_release and/or
ib_umem_account() can properly decrement the pinned_vm count of the
correct mm_struct.
