From 462e00cc7151ed91fba688594436c453c80efb5d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ethan Solomita Date: Sun, 15 Jul 2007 23:38:16 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] oom: stop allocating user memory if TIF_MEMDIE is set get_user_pages() can try to allocate a nearly unlimited amount of memory on behalf of a user process, even if that process has been OOM killed. The OOM kill occurs upon return to user space via a SIGKILL, but get_user_pages() will try allocate all its memory before returning. Change get_user_pages() to check for TIF_MEMDIE, and if set then return immediately.
