Currently __set_oom_adj loops through all processes in the system to keep oom_score_adj and oom_score_adj_min in sync between processes sharing their mm. This is done for any task with more that one mm_users, which includes processes with multiple threads (sharing mm and signals). However for such processes the loop is unnecessary because their signal structure is shared as well. Android updates oom_score_adj whenever a tasks changes its role (background/foreground/...) or binds to/unbinds from a service, making it more/less important. Such operation can happen frequently. We noticed that updates to oom_score_adj became more expensive and after further investigation found out that the patch mentioned in "Fixes" introduced a regression. Using Pixel 4 with a typical Android workload, write time to oom_score_adj increased from ~3.57us to ~362us. Moreover this regression linearly depends on the number of multi-threaded processes running on the system. Mark the mm with a new MMF_PROC_SHARED flag bit when task is created with (CLONE_VM && !CLONE_THREAD && !CLONE_VFORK). Change __set_oom_adj to use MMF_PROC_SHARED instead of mm_users to decide whether oom_score_adj update should be synchronized between multiple processes. To prevent races between clone() and __set_oom_adj(), when oom_score_adj of the process being cloned might be modified from userspace, we use oom_adj_mutex. Its scope is changed to global and it is renamed into oom_adj_lock for naming consistency with oom_lock. The combination of (CLONE_VM && !CLONE_THREAD) is rarely used except for the case of vfork(). To prevent performance regressions of vfork(), we skip taking oom_adj_lock and setting MMF_PROC_SHARED when CLONE_VFORK is specified. Clearing the MMF_PROC_SHARED flag (when the last process sharing the mm exits) is left out of this patch to keep it simple and because it is believed that this threading model is rare. Should there ever be a need for optimizing that case as well, it can be done by hooking into the exit path, likely following the mm_update_next_owner pattern. With the combination of (CLONE_VM && !CLONE_THREAD && !CLONE_VFORK) being quite rare, the regression is gone after the change is applied.

The check follows a similar pattern from copy_mm to detect when we are cloning a kernel thread. Also IMHO this is a more obvious way to protect from dereferencing a NULL tsk->mm, which is the important point here. I can change or remove the comment if that makes things more clear. Please LMK if that would help.

Looks good to me,

I hope we can build on top of this and move oom_core* stuff to the mm_struct to remove all this cruft but I still think that this is conceptually easier to backport to older kernels than a completely new approach.
Btw. now that the flag is in place we can optimize __oom_kill_process as well. Not that this particular path is performance sensitive. But it could show up in group oom killing in memcgs. It should be as simple as (I can prepare an official patch unless somebody beat me to it)

The copying and the setting of a bit on a mm should be logically separate things.
This really makes my head hurt because the functionality is not separated out. I don't have a clue how we could maintain this copy_oom_score_adj function.

This really makes my head hurt because the functionality is not separated out. I don't have a clue how we could maintain this copy_oom_score_adj function.
Copying oom_score_adj here is necessary to prevent a possible race from creating inconsistent oom_score_adj for the cloned process. The race this protects from is when __set_oom_adj happens after copy_signal but before copy_oom_score_adj. In that case __set_oom_adj will not see MMF_PROC_SHARED and therefore will not update oom_score_adj of the cloned process. Copying oom_score_adj again inside copy_oom_score_adj will fix such inconsistency. This is the simplest way I see to keep things in sync until mm->oom_score_adj is implemented (which I agree should happen but it's also a much bigger change).

I cannot say I would care deeply about naming. Consistency looks nice but if there is a preference to keep the lock then I will not object.
