mm: correctly synchronize rss-counters at exit/exec
mm->rss_stat counters have per-task delta: task->rss_stat. Before changing task->mm pointer the kernel must flush this delta with sync_mm_rss(). do_exit() already calls sync_mm_rss() to flush the rss-counters before committing the rss statistics into task->signal->maxrss, taskstats, audit and other stuff. Unfortunately the kernel does this before calling mm_release(), which can call put_user() for processing task->clear_child_tid. So at this point we can trigger page-faults and task->rss_stat becomes non-zero again. As a result mm->rss_stat becomes inconsistent and check_mm() will print something like this: | BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:ffff88020813c380 idx:1 val:-1 | BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:ffff88020813c380 idx:2 val:1 This patch moves sync_mm_rss() into mm_release(), and moves mm_release() out of do_exit() and calls it earlier. After mm_release() there should be no pagefaults.
