[PATCH v2 3/4] oom_kill: has_intersects_mems_allowed() needsrcu_read_lock()

From: Oleg Nesterov
Date: Wed Dec 04 2013 - 08:03:23 EST


At least out_of_memory() calls has_intersects_mems_allowed()
without even rcu_read_lock(), this is obviously buggy.

Add the necessary rcu_read_lock(). This means that we can not
simply return from the loop, we need "bool ret" and "break".

While at it, swap the names of task_struct's (the argument and
the local). This cleanups the code a little bit and avoids the
unnecessary initialization.
