Subject: x86,mm: make pagefault killable
X-Git-Tag: upstream/snapshot3+hdmi~10294
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=37b23e0525d393d48a7d59f870b3bc061a30ccdb;p=platform%2Fadaptation%2Frenesas_rcar%2Frenesas_kernel.git

x86,mm: make pagefault killable

When an oom killing occurs, almost all processes are getting stuck at the
following two points.

	1) __alloc_pages_nodemask
	2) __lock_page_or_retry

1) is not very problematic because TIF_MEMDIE leads to an allocation
failure and getting out from page allocator.

2) is more problematic.  In an OOM situation, zones typically don't have
page cache at all and memory starvation might lead to greatly reduced IO
performance.  When a fork bomb occurs, TIF_MEMDIE tasks don't die quickly,
meaning that a fork bomb may create new process quickly rather than the
oom-killer killing it.  Then, the system may become livelocked.

This patch makes the pagefault interruptible by SIGKILL.
