oom_kill.c: futex: delay the OOM reaper to allow time for proper futex cleanup
commit e4a38402c36e42df28eb1a5394be87e6571fb48a upstream. The pthread struct is allocated on PRIVATE|ANONYMOUS memory [1] which can be targeted by the oom reaper. This mapping is used to store the futex robust list head; the kernel does not keep a copy of the robust list and instead references a userspace address to maintain the robustness during a process death. A race can occur between exit_mm and the oom reaper that allows the oom reaper to free the memory of the futex robust list before the exit path has handled the futex death: CPU1 CPU2 -------------------------------------------------------------------- page_fault do_exit "signal" wake_oom_reaper oom_reaper oom_reap_task_mm (invalidates mm) exit_mm exit_mm_release futex_exit_release futex_cleanup exit_robust_list get_user (EFAULT- can't access memory) If the get_user EFAULT's, the kernel will be unable to recover the waiters on the robust_list, leaving userspace mutexes hung indefinitely. Delay the OOM reaper, allowing more time for the exit path to perform the futex cleanup. Reproducer: https://gitlab.com/jsavitz/oom_futex_reproducer Based on a patch by Michal Hocko.
