From df13f3cb4af3118ec04cd04b179cd1b041740ce8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jinliang Zheng Date: Thu, 20 Jun 2024 20:21:24 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm: optimize the redundant loop of mm_update_owner_next() commit cf3f9a593dab87a032d2b6a6fb205e7f3de4f0a1 upstream. When mm_update_owner_next() is racing with swapoff (try_to_unuse()) or /proc or ptrace or page migration (get_task_mm()), it is impossible to find an appropriate task_struct in the loop whose mm_struct is the same as the target mm_struct. If the above race condition is combined with the stress-ng-zombie and stress-ng-dup tests, such a long loop can easily cause a Hard Lockup in write_lock_irq() for tasklist_lock. Recognize this situation in advance and exit early.
