Crashes/hung tasks with z3pool under memory pressure

[Guenter Roeck]

Hi all,

we are observing crashes with z3pool under memory pressure. The kernel version
used to reproduce the problem is v4.16-11827-g5d1365940a68, but the problem was
also seen with v4.14 based kernels.

For simplicity, here is a set of shortened logs. A more complete log is
available at [1].

With lock debugging enabled, the log is a bit different, but similar.

The problem is easy to reproduce. Please see [2] and the other files
at [3] for details. Various additional crash logs, observed with
chromeos-4.14, are available at [4].

Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help solving
or debugging the problem. I had a look into the code, but I must admit
that its locking is a mystery to me.

Thanks,
Guenter
