The Linux Kernel versions 4.14, 4.15, and 4.16 has a null pointer dereference which can result in an out of memory (OOM) killing of large mlocked processes. The issue arises from an oom killed process\'s final thread calling exit_mmap(), which calls munlock_vma_pages_all() for mlocked vmas.This can happen synchronously with the oom reaper\'s unmap_page_range() since the vma\'s VM_LOCKED bit is cleared before munlocking (to determine if any other vmas share the memory and are mlocked).
