The sum_vm_events passes cpumask for for_each_cpu(). But it's useless since we have for_each_online_cpu. Althougth it's tirival overhead, it's not good about coding consistency. Let's use for_each_online_cpu instead of for_each_cpu with cpumask argument. Signed-off-by:

We have been used naming try_set_zone_oom and clear_zonelist_oom. The role of functions is to lock of zonelist for preventing parallel OOM. So clear_zonelist_oom makes sense but try_set_zone_oome is rather awkward and unmatched with clear_zonelist_oom. Let's change it with try_set_zonelist_oom. Signed-off-by:

Remove the redundancy in __oom_kill_task() since: - init can never be passed to this function: it will never be PF_EXITING or selectable from select_bad_process(), and - it will never be passed a task from oom_kill_task() without an ->mm and we're unconcerned about detachment from exiting tasks, there's no reason to protect them against SIGKILL or access to memory reserves. Also moves the kernel log message to a higher level since the verbosity is not always emitted here; we need not print an error message if an exiting task is given a longer timeslice. __oom_kill_task() only has a single caller, so it can be merged into that function at the same time.

The three oom killer sysctl variables (sysctl_oom_dump_tasks, sysctl_oom_kill_allocating_task, and sysctl_panic_on_oom) are better declared in include/linux/oom.h rather than kernel/sysctl.c. Signed-off-by:

It is possible to remove the special pagefault oom handler by simply oom locking all system zones and then calling directly into out_of_memory(). All populated zones must have ZONE_OOM_LOCKED set, otherwise there is a parallel oom killing in progress that will lead to eventual memory freeing so it's not necessary to needlessly kill another task. The context in which the pagefault is allocating memory is unknown to the oom killer, so this is done on a system-wide level. If a task has already been oom killed and hasn't fully exited yet, this will be a no-op since select_bad_process() recognizes tasks across the system with TIF_MEMDIE set. Signed-off-by:

There are various points in the oom killer where the kernel must determine whether to panic or not. It's better to extract this to a helper function to remove all the confusion as to its semantics. Also fix a call to dump_header() where tasklist_lock is not read- locked, as required. There's no functional change with this patch. Acked-by:

If memory has been depleted in lowmem zones even with the protection afforded to it by /proc/sys/vm/lowmem_reserve_ratio, it is unlikely that killing current users will help. The memory is either reclaimable (or migratable) already, in which case we should not invoke the oom killer at all, or it is pinned by an application for I/O. Killing such an application may leave the hardware in an unspecified state and there is no guarantee that it will be able to make a timely exit. Lowmem allocations are now failed in oom conditions when __GFP_NOFAIL is not used so that the task can perhaps recover or try again later. Previously, the heuristic provided some protection for those tasks with CAP_SYS_RAWIO, but this is no longer necessary since we will not be killing tasks for the purposes of ISA allocations. high_zoneidx is gfp_zone(gfp_flags), meaning that ZONE_NORMAL will be the default for all allocations that are not __GFP_DMA, __GFP_DMA32, __GFP_HIGHMEM, and __GFP_MOVABLE on kernels configured to support those flags. Testing for high_zoneidx being less than ZONE_NORMAL will only return true for allocations that have either __GFP_DMA or __GFP_DMA32. Acked-by:

The oom killer tasklist dump, enabled with the oom_dump_tasks sysctl, is very helpful information in diagnosing why a user's task has been killed. It emits useful information such as each eligible thread's memory usage that can determine why the system is oom, so it should be enabled by default. Signed-off-by:

The oom killer presently kills current whenever there is no more memory free or reclaimable on its mempolicy's nodes. There is no guarantee that current is a memory-hogging task or that killing it will free any substantial amount of memory, however. In such situations, it is better to scan the tasklist for nodes that are allowed to allocate on current's set of nodes and kill the task with the highest badness() score. This ensures that the most memory-hogging task, or the one configured by the user with /proc/pid/oom_adj, is always selected in such scenarios. Signed-off-by:

When a task is chosen for oom kill, the oom killer first attempts to sacrifice a child not sharing its parent's memory instead. Unfortunately, this often kills in a seemingly random fashion based on the ordering of the selected task's child list. Additionally, it is not guaranteed at all to free a large amount of memory that we need to prevent additional oom killing in the very near future. Instead, we now only attempt to sacrifice the worst child not sharing its parent's memory, if one exists. The worst child is indicated with the highest badness() score. This serves two advantages: we kill a memory-hogging task more often, and we allow the configurable /proc/pid/oom_adj value to be considered as a factor in which child to kill. Reviewers may observe that the previous implementation would iterate through the children and attempt to kill each until one was successful and then the parent if none were found while the new code simply kills the most memory-hogging task or the parent. Note that the only time oom_kill_task() fails, however, is when a child does not have an mm or has a /proc/pid/oom_adj of OOM_DISABLE. badness() returns 0 for both cases, so the final oom_kill_task() will always succeed.

Tasks that do not share the same set of allowed nodes with the task that triggered the oom should not be considered as candidates for oom kill. Tasks in other cpusets with a disjoint set of mems would be unfairly penalized otherwise because of oom conditions elsewhere; an extreme example could unfairly kill all other applications on the system if a single task in a user's cpuset sets itself to OOM_DISABLE and then uses more memory than allowed. Killing tasks outside of current's cpuset rarely would free memory for current anyway. To use a sane heuristic, we must ensure that killing a task would likely free memory for current and avoid needlessly killing others at all costs just because their potential memory freeing is unknown. It is better to kill current than another task needlessly. Signed-off-by:

It's unnecessary to SIGKILL a task that is already PF_EXITING and can actually cause a NULL pointer dereference of the sighand if it has already been detached. Instead, simply set TIF_MEMDIE so it has access to memory reserves and can quickly exit as the comment implies. Reviewed-by:

It's possible to livelock the page allocator if a thread has mm->mmap_sem and fails to make forward progress because the oom killer selects another thread sharing the same ->mm to kill that cannot exit until the semaphore is dropped. The oom killer will not kill multiple tasks at the same time; each oom killed task must exit before another task may be killed. Thus, if one thread is holding mm->mmap_sem and cannot allocate memory, all threads sharing the same ->mm are blocked from exiting as well. In the oom kill case, that means the thread holding mm->mmap_sem will never free additional memory since it cannot get access to memory reserves and the thread that depends on it with access to memory reserves cannot exit because it cannot acquire the semaphore. Thus, the page allocators livelocks. When the oom killer is called and current happens to have a pending SIGKILL, this patch automatically gives it access to memory reserves and returns. Upon returning to the page allocator, its allocation will hopefully succeed so it can quickly exit and free its memory. If not, the page allocator will fail the allocation if it is not __GFP_NOFAIL.

When find_lock_task_mm() returns a thread other than p in dump_tasks(), its name should be displayed instead. This is the thread that will be targeted by the oom killer, not its mm-less parent. This also allows us to safely dereference task->comm without needing get_task_comm(). While we're here, remove the cast on task_cpu(task) as Andrew suggested. Signed-off-by:

KOSAKI Motohiro authored
dump_task() should use find_lock_task_mm() too. It is necessary for protecting task-exiting race. dump_tasks() currently filters any task that does not have an attached ->mm since it incorrectly assumes that it must either be in the process of exiting and has detached its memory or that it's a kernel thread; multithreaded tasks may actually have subthreads that have a valid ->mm pointer and thus those threads should actually be displayed. This change finds those threads, if they exist, and emit their information along with the rest of the candidate tasks for kill. Signed-off-by:

Almost all ->mm == NULL checks in oom_kill.c are wrong. The current code assumes that the task without ->mm has already released its memory and ignores the process. However this is not necessarily true when this process is multithreaded, other live sub-threads can use this ->mm. - Remove the "if (!p->mm)" check in select_bad_process(), it is just wrong. - Add the new helper, find_lock_task_mm(), which finds the live thread which uses the memory and takes task_lock() to pin ->mm - change oom_badness() to use this helper instead of just checking ->mm != NULL. - As David pointed out, select_bad_process() must never choose the task without ->mm, but no matter what oom_badness() returns the task can be chosen if nothing else has been found yet. Change oom_badness() to return int, change it to return -1 if find_lock_task_mm() fails, and change select_bad_process() to check points >= 0. Note! This patch is not enough, we need more changes. - oom_badness() was fixed, but oom_kill_task() still ignores the task without ->mm - oom_forkbomb_penalty() should use find_lock_task_mm() too, and it also needs other changes to actually find the first first-descendant children This will be addressed later.

select_bad_process() checks PF_EXITING to detect the task which is going to release its memory, but the logic is very wrong. - a single process P with the dead group leader disables select_bad_process() completely, it will always return ERR_PTR() while P can live forever - if the PF_EXITING task has already released its ->mm it doesn't make sense to expect it is goiing to free more memory (except task_struct/etc) Change the code to ignore the PF_EXITING tasks without ->mm.

The comment suggests that when b_count equals zero it is calling __wait_no_buffer to trigger some debug, but as there is no debug in __wait_on_buffer the whole thing is redundant. AFAICT from the git log this has been the case for at least 5 years, so it seems safe just to remove this. Signed-off-by:

KSM reference counts can cause an anon_vma to exist after the processe it belongs to have already exited. Because the anon_vma lock now lives in the root anon_vma, we need to ensure that the root anon_vma stays around until after all the "child" anon_vmas have been freed. The obvious way to do this is to have a "child" anon_vma take a reference to the root in anon_vma_fork. When the anon_vma is freed at munmap or process exit, we drop the refcount in anon_vma_unlink and possibly free the root anon_vma. The KSM anon_vma reference count function also needs to be modified to deal with the possibility of freeing 2 levels of anon_vma. The easiest way to do this is to break out the KSM magic and make it generic. When compiling without CONFIG_KSM, this code is compiled out. Signed-off-by:

Always (and only) lock the root (oldest) anon_vma whenever we do something in an anon_vma. The recently introduced anon_vma scalability is due to the rmap code scanning only the VMAs that need to be scanned. Many common operations still took the anon_vma lock on the root anon_vma, so always taking that lock is not expected to introduce any scalability issues. However, always taking the same lock does mean we only need to take one lock, which means rmap_walk on pages from any anon_vma in the vma is excluded from occurring during an munmap, expand_stack or other operation that needs to exclude rmap_walk and similar functions. Also add the proper locking to vma_adjust. Signed-off-by:

Track the root (oldest) anon_vma in each anon_vma tree. Because we only take the lock on the root anon_vma, we cannot use the lock on higher-up anon_vmas to lock anything. This makes it impossible to do an indirect lookup of the root anon_vma, since the data structures could go away from under us. However, a direct pointer is safe because the root anon_vma is always the last one that gets freed on munmap or exit, by virtue of the same_vma list order and unlink_anon_vmas walking the list forward.

kunmap_atomic() is currently at level -4 on Rusty's "Hard To Misuse" list[1] ("Follow common convention and you'll get it wrong"), except in some architectures when CONFIG_DEBUG_HIGHMEM is set[2][3]. kunmap() takes a pointer to a struct page; kunmap_atomic(), however, takes takes a pointer to within the page itself. This seems to once in a while trip people up (the convention they are following is the one from kunmap()). Make it much harder to misuse, by moving it to level 9 on Rusty's list[4] ("The compiler/linker won't let you get it wrong"). This is done by refusing to build if the type of its first argument is a pointer to a struct page. The real kunmap_atomic() is renamed to kunmap_atomic_notypecheck() (which is what you would call in case for some strange reason calling it with a pointer to a struct page is not incorrect in your code). The previous version of this patch was compile tested on x86-64. [1] http://ozlabs.org/~rusty/index.cgi/tech/2008-04-01.html [2] In these cases, it is at level 5, "Do it right or it will always break at runtime." [3] At least mips and powerpc look very similar, and sparc also seems to share a common ancestor with both; there seems to be quite some degree of copy-and-paste coding here. The include/asm/highmem.h file for these three archs mention x86 CPUs at its top. [4] http://ozlabs.org/~rusty/index.cgi/tech/2008-03-30.html [5] As an aside, could someone tell me why mn10300 uses unsigned long as the first parameter of kunmap_atomic() instead of void *?

When a copy-on-write occurs, we take one of two paths in handle_mm_fault: through handle_pte_fault for normal pages, or through hugetlb_fault for huge pages. In the normal page case, we eventually get to do_wp_page and call mmu notifiers via ptep_clear_flush_notify. There is no callout to the mmmu notifiers in the huge page case. This patch fixes that.

The start/stop_critical_timing functions for preemptirqsoff, preemptoff and irqsoff tracers contain atomic_inc() and atomic_dec() operations. Atomic operations use local_irq_save/restore macros to ensure atomic access but they are traced by the same function which is causing recursion problem. The reason is when these tracers are turn ON then the local_irq_save/restore macros are changed in include/linux/irqflags.h to call trace_hardirqs_on/off which call start/stop_critical_timing.

Commit 991ea75c (drm: use workqueue instead of slow-work), which made drm to use wq instead of slow-work, didn't account for the return value difference between delayed_slow_work_enqueue() and queue_delayed_work(). The former returns 0 on success and -errno on failures while the latter never fails and only uses the return value to indicate whether the work was already pending or not. This misconversion triggered spurious error messages. Remove the now unnecessary return value check and error message.
