From 2ad306b17c0ac5a1b1f250d5f772aeb87fdf1eba Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Glauber Costa Date: Tue, 18 Dec 2012 14:22:18 -0800 Subject: fork: protect architectures where THREAD_SIZE >= PAGE_SIZE against fork bombs Because those architectures will draw their stacks directly from the page allocator, rather than the slab cache, we can directly pass __GFP_KMEMCG flag, and issue the corresponding free_pages. This code path is taken when the architecture doesn't define CONFIG_ARCH_THREAD_INFO_ALLOCATOR (only ia64 seems to), and has THREAD_SIZE >= PAGE_SIZE. Luckily, most - if not all - of the remaining architectures fall in this category. This will guarantee that every stack page is accounted to the memcg the process currently lives on, and will have the allocations to fail if they go over limit. For the time being, I am defining a new variant of THREADINFO_GFP, not to mess with the other path. Once the slab is also tracked by memcg, we can get rid of that flag.
