Michal Hocko d1908f5255 fs: break out of iomap_file_buffered_write on fatal signals
Tetsuo has noticed that an OOM stress test which performs large write
requests can cause the full memory reserves depletion.  He has tracked
this down to the following path

	__alloc_pages_nodemask+0x436/0x4d0
	alloc_pages_current+0x97/0x1b0
	__page_cache_alloc+0x15d/0x1a0          mm/filemap.c:728
	pagecache_get_page+0x5a/0x2b0           mm/filemap.c:1331
	grab_cache_page_write_begin+0x23/0x40   mm/filemap.c:2773
	iomap_write_begin+0x50/0xd0             fs/iomap.c:118
	iomap_write_actor+0xb5/0x1a0            fs/iomap.c:190
	? iomap_write_end+0x80/0x80             fs/iomap.c:150
	iomap_apply+0xb3/0x130                  fs/iomap.c:79
	iomap_file_buffered_write+0x68/0xa0     fs/iomap.c:243
	? iomap_write_end+0x80/0x80
	xfs_file_buffered_aio_write+0x132/0x390 [xfs]
	? remove_wait_queue+0x59/0x60
	xfs_file_write_iter+0x90/0x130 [xfs]
	__vfs_write+0xe5/0x140
	vfs_write+0xc7/0x1f0
	? syscall_trace_enter+0x1d0/0x380
	SyS_write+0x58/0xc0
	do_syscall_64+0x6c/0x200
	entry_SYSCALL64_slow_path+0x25/0x25

the oom victim has access to all memory reserves to make a forward
progress to exit easier.  But iomap_file_buffered_write and other
callers of iomap_apply loop to complete the full request.  We need to
check for fatal signals and back off with a short write instead.

As the iomap_apply delegates all the work down to the actor we have to
hook into those.  All callers that work with the page cache are calling
iomap_write_begin so we will check for signals there.  dax_iomap_actor
has to handle the situation explicitly because it copies data to the
userspace directly.  Other callers like iomap_page_mkwrite work on a
single page or iomap_fiemap_actor do not allocate memory based on the
given len.

Fixes: 68a9f5e700 ("xfs: implement iomap based buffered write path")
