Subject[PATCH 11/18] coredump: make coredump_wait wait for mmap_sem for write killable
Date
From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com>

coredump_wait waits for mmap_sem for write currently which can
prevent oom_reaper to reclaim the oom victims address space
asynchronously because that requires mmap_sem for read. This might
happen if the oom victim is multi threaded and some thread(s) is
holding mmap_sem for read (e.g. page fault) and it is stuck in
the page allocator while other thread(s) reached coredump_wait
already.

This patch simply uses down_write_killable and bails out with EINTR
if the lock got interrupted by the fatal signal. do_coredump will
return right away and do_group_exit will take care to zap the whole
thread group.
