mm/oom_kill.c: reverse the order of setting TIF_MEMDIE and sending SIGKILL
It was confirmed that a local unprivileged user can consume all memory
reserves and hang up that system using time lag between the OOM killer
sets TIF_MEMDIE on an OOM victim and sends SIGKILL to that victim, for
printk() inside for_each_process() loop at oom_kill_process() can consume
many seconds when there are many thread groups sharing the same memory.
Before starting oom-depleter process:
Node 0 DMA: 3*4kB (UM) 6*8kB (U) 4*16kB (UEM) 0*32kB 0*64kB 1*128kB (M) 2*256kB (EM) 2*512kB (UE) 2*1024kB (EM) 1*2048kB (E) 1*4096kB (M) = 9980kB
Node 0 DMA32: 31*4kB (UEM) 27*8kB (UE) 32*16kB (UE) 13*32kB (UE) 14*64kB (UM) 7*128kB (UM) 8*256kB (UM) 8*512kB (UM) 3*1024kB (U) 4*2048kB (UM) 362*4096kB (UM) = 1503220kB
As of invoking the OOM killer:
Node 0 DMA: 11*4kB (UE) 8*8kB (UEM) 6*16kB (UE) 2*32kB (EM) 0*64kB 1*128kB (U) 3*256kB (UEM) 2*512kB (UE) 3*1024kB (UEM) 1*2048kB (U) 0*4096kB = 7308kB
Node 0 DMA32: 1049*4kB (UEM) 507*8kB (UE) 151*16kB (UE) 53*32kB (UEM) 83*64kB (UEM) 52*128kB (EM) 25*256kB (UEM) 11*512kB (M) 6*1024kB (UM) 1*2048kB (M) 0*4096kB = 44556kB
Between the thread group leader got TIF_MEMDIE and receives SIGKILL:
Node 0 DMA: 0*4kB 0*8kB 0*16kB 0*32kB 0*64kB 0*128kB 0*256kB 0*512kB 0*1024kB 0*2048kB 0*4096kB = 0kB
Node 0 DMA32: 0*4kB 0*8kB 0*16kB 0*32kB 0*64kB 0*128kB 0*256kB 0*512kB 0*1024kB 0*2048kB 0*4096kB = 0kB
The oom-depleter's thread group leader which got TIF_MEMDIE started
memset() in user space after the OOM killer set TIF_MEMDIE, and it was
free to abuse ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS by TIF_MEMDIE for memset() in user space
until SIGKILL is delivered. If SIGKILL is delivered before TIF_MEMDIE is
set, the oom-depleter can terminate without touching memory reserves.
Although the possibility of hitting this time lag is very small for 3.19
and earlier kernels because TIF_MEMDIE is set immediately before sending
SIGKILL, preemption or long interrupts (an extreme example is SysRq-t) can
step between and allow memory allocations which are not needed for
terminating the OOM victim.
