Subject: Odd SIGSEGV issue introduced by commit 6b31d5955cb29 ("mm, oom: fix potential data corruption when oom_reaper races with writer")
Date: Mon, 20 Aug 2018 17:23:58 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <7767bdf4-a034-ecb9-1ac8-4fa87f335818@c-s.fr> (raw)

Hello,

I have an odd issue on my powerpc 8xx board.

I am running latest 4.14 and get the following SIGSEGV which appears 
more or less randomly.

The problem is present in 3.13, 3.14 and 3.15.

I bisected its appearance with commit 6b31d5955cb29 ("mm, oom: fix 
potential data corruption when oom_reaper races with writer")

And I bisected its disappearance with commit 99cd1302327a2 ("powerpc: 
Deliver SEGV signal on pkey violation")

Looking at those two commits, especially the one which makes it 
dissapear, I'm quite sceptic. Any idea on what could be the cause and/or 
how to investigate further ?

Thanks
Christophe
