mm, oom: tighten task_will_free_mem() locking "mm, oom: fortify task_will_free_mem" has dropped task_lock around task_will_free_mem in oom_kill_process bacause it assumed that a potential race when the selected task exits will not be a problem as the oom_reaper will call exit_oom_victim. Tetsuo was objecting that nommu doesn't have oom_reaper so the race would be still possible. The code would be racy and lockup prone theoretically in other aspects without the oom reaper anyway so I didn't considered this a big deal. But it seems that further changes I am planning in this area will benefit from stable task->mm in this path as well. So let's drop find_lock_task_mm from task_will_free_mem and call it from under task_lock as we did previously. Just pull the task->mm != NULL check inside the function.
