[PATCH 4.14 011/178] mm, oom_reaper: fix memory corruption

4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit 4837fe37adff1d159904f0c013471b1ecbcb455e upstream.

David Rientjes has reported the following memory corruption while the
oom reaper tries to unmap the victims address space

BUG: Bad page map in process oom_reaper pte:6353826300000000 pmd:00000000
addr:00007f50cab1d000 vm_flags:08100073 anon_vma:ffff9eea335603f0 mapping: (null) index:7f50cab1d
file: (null) fault: (null) mmap: (null) readpage: (null)
CPU: 2 PID: 1001 Comm: oom_reaper
Call Trace:
unmap_page_range+0x1068/0x1130
__oom_reap_task_mm+0xd5/0x16b
oom_reaper+0xff/0x14c
kthread+0xc1/0xe0

Tetsuo Handa has noticed that the synchronization inside exit_mmap is
insufficient. We only synchronize with the oom reaper if
tsk_is_oom_victim which is not true if the final __mmput is called from
a different context than the oom victim exit path. This can trivially
happen from context of any task which has grabbed mm reference (e.g. to
read /proc/<pid>/ file which requires mm etc.).

The race would look like this

oom_reaper oom_victim task
mmget_not_zero
do_exit
mmput
__oom_reap_task_mm mmput
__mmput
exit_mmap
remove_vma
unmap_page_range

Fix this issue by providing a new mm_is_oom_victim() helper which
operates on the mm struct rather than a task. Any context which
operates on a remote mm struct should use this helper in place of
tsk_is_oom_victim. The flag is set in mark_oom_victim and never cleared
so it is stable in the exit_mmap path.

Debugged by Tetsuo Handa.
