Vlastimil Babka e47483bca2 mm, page_alloc: fix premature OOM when racing with cpuset mems update ... Ganapatrao Kulkarni reported that the LTP test cpuset01 in stress mode triggers OOM killer in few seconds, despite lots of free memory. The test attempts to repeatedly fault in memory in one process in a cpuset, while changing allowed nodes of the cpuset between 0 and 1 in another process. The problem comes from insufficient protection against cpuset changes, which can cause get_page_from_freelist() to consider all zones as non-eligible due to nodemask and/or current->mems_allowed. This was masked in the past by sufficient retries, but since commit 682a3385e7 ("mm, page_alloc: inline the fast path of the zonelist iterator") we fix the preferred_zoneref once, and don't iterate over the whole zonelist in further attempts, thus the only eligible zones might be placed in the zonelist before our starting point and we always miss them. A previous patch fixed this problem for current->mems_allowed. However, cpuset changes also update the task's mempolicy nodemask. The fix has two parts. We have to repeat the preferred_zoneref search when we detect cpuset update by way of seqcount, and we have to check the seqcount before considering OOM.
