    mm: optimize the redundant loop of mm_update_owner_next() · cf3f9a59
    Jinliang Zheng authored Jun 20, 2024
    When mm_update_owner_next() is racing with swapoff (try_to_unuse()) or
    /proc or ptrace or page migration (get_task_mm()), it is impossible to
    find an appropriate task_struct in the loop whose mm_struct is the same as
    the target mm_struct.
    
    If the above race condition is combined with the stress-ng-zombie and
    stress-ng-dup tests, such a long loop can easily cause a Hard Lockup in
    write_lock_irq() for tasklist_lock.
    
    Recognize this situation in advance and exit early.
