[patch v2 1/2] mm, mmu_notifier: annotate mmu notifiers with blockable invalidate callbacks

From: David Rientjes
Date: Thu Dec 14 2017 - 16:31:07 EST


Commit 4d4bbd8526a8 ("mm, oom_reaper: skip mm structs with mmu notifiers")
prevented the oom reaper from unmapping private anonymous memory with the
oom reaper when the oom victim mm had mmu notifiers registered.

The rationale is that doing mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_{start,end}()
around the unmap_page_range(), which is needed, can block and the oom
killer will stall forever waiting for the victim to exit, which may not
be possible without reaping.

That concern is real, but only true for mmu notifiers that have blockable
invalidate_range_{start,end}() callbacks. This patch adds a "flags" field
to mmu notifier ops that can set a bit to indicate that these callbacks do
not block.

The implementation is steered toward an expensive slowpath, such as after
the oom reaper has grabbed mm->mmap_sem of a still alive oom victim.

v2:
- specifically exclude mmu_notifiers without invalidate callbacks
- move flags to mmu_notifier_ops per Paolo
- reverse flag from blockable -> not blockable per Christian
