From 69048176078adda4087a648c9b1812ddd800fad1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Hocko Date: Mon, 23 May 2016 16:25:54 -0700 Subject: vdso: make arch_setup_additional_pages wait for mmap_sem for write killable most architectures are relying on mmap_sem for write in their arch_setup_additional_pages. If the waiting task gets killed by the oom killer it would block oom_reaper from asynchronous address space reclaim and reduce the chances of timely OOM resolving. Wait for the lock in the killable mode and return with EINTR if the task got killed while waiting.
