This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

/dev/mem: Bail out upon SIGKILL.

to my char-misc git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git in the char-misc-next branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will also be merged in the next major kernel release during the merge window.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

syzbot found that a thread can stall for minutes inside read_mem() or write_mem() after that thread was killed by SIGKILL [1]. Reading from iomem areas of /dev/mem can be slow, depending on the hardware. While reading 2GB at one read() is legal, delaying termination of killed thread for minutes is bad. Thus, allow reading/writing /dev/mem and /dev/kmem to be preemptible and killable.

[ 1335.912419][T20577] read_mem: sz=4096 count=2134565632 [ 1335.943194][T20577] read_mem: sz=4096 count=2134561536 [ 1335.978280][T20577] read_mem: sz=4096 count=2134557440 [ 1336.011147][T20577] read_mem: sz=4096 count=2134553344 [ 1336.041897][T20577] read_mem: sz=4096 count=2134549248

Theoretically, reading/writing /dev/mem and /dev/kmem can become "interruptible". But this patch chose "killable". Future patch will make them "interruptible" so that we can revert to "killable" if some program regressed.
