Subject: [PATCH 3.16 22/72] /dev/mem: Bail out upon SIGKILL.

3.16.79-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@...ove.SAKURA.ne.jp>

commit 8619e5bdeee8b2c685d686281f2d2a6017c4bc15 upstream.

syzbot found that a thread can stall for minutes inside read_mem() or
write_mem() after that thread was killed by SIGKILL [1]. Reading from
iomem areas of /dev/mem can be slow, depending on the hardware.
While reading 2GB at one read() is legal, delaying termination of killed
thread for minutes is bad. Thus, allow reading/writing /dev/mem and
/dev/kmem to be preemptible and killable.

  [ 1335.912419][T20577] read_mem: sz=4096 count=2134565632
  [ 1335.943194][T20577] read_mem: sz=4096 count=2134561536
  [ 1335.978280][T20577] read_mem: sz=4096 count=2134557440
  [ 1336.011147][T20577] read_mem: sz=4096 count=2134553344
  [ 1336.041897][T20577] read_mem: sz=4096 count=2134549248

Theoretically, reading/writing /dev/mem and /dev/kmem can become
"interruptible". But this patch chose "killable". Future patch will make
them "interruptible" so that we can revert to "killable" if some program
regressed.
