The memory hotplug notifier kcore_callback() only needs kclist_lock to prevent races with __kcore_update_ram(), but we can easily eliminate that race by using an atomic xchg() in __kcore_update_ram(). This is preparation for converting kclist_lock to an rwsem. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/0a4bc89f4dbde8b5b2ea309f7b4fb6a85fe29df2.1531953780.git.osandov@fb.comSigned-off-by:

Patch series "/proc/kcore improvements", v4. This series makes a few improvements to /proc/kcore. It fixes a couple of small issues in v3 but is otherwise the same. Patches 1, 2, and 3 are prep patches. Patch 4 is a fix/cleanup. Patch 5 is another prep patch. Patches 6 and 7 are optimizations to ->read(). Patch 8 makes it possible to enable CRASH_CORE on any architecture, which is needed for patch 9. Patch 9 adds vmcoreinfo to /proc/kcore. This patch (of 9): kclist_add() is only called at init time, so there's no point in grabbing any locks. We're also going to replace the rwlock with a rwsem, which we don't want to try grabbing during early boot. While we're here, mark kclist_add() with __init so that we'll get a warning if it's called from non-init code.

elf_kcore_store_hdr() uses __pa() to find the physical address of KCORE_RAM or KCORE_TEXT entries exported as program headers. This trips CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL's checks, as the KCORE_TEXT entries are not in the linear map. Handle these two cases separately, using __pa_symbol() for the KCORE_TEXT entries.

Use new return type vm_fault_t for fault handler in struct vm_operations_struct. For now, this is just documenting that the function returns a VM_FAULT value rather than an errno. Once all instances are converted, vm_fault_t will become a distinct type. See 1c8f4220 ("mm: change return type to vm_fault_t") for reference.

Note: rcu_read_unlock() can be done even earlier since pointer to a task is not dereferenced. It depends if /proc code should look scary or not: rcu_read_lock(); task = pid_task(...); rcu_read_unlock(); if (!task) return -ESRCH; if (task != current) return -EACCESS: P.S.: rename "length" variable.

Currently, NODEMASK_ALLOC allocates a nodemask_t with kmalloc when NODES_SHIFT is higher than 8, otherwise it declares it within the stack. The comment says that the reasoning behind this, is that nodemask_t will be 256 bytes when NODES_SHIFT is higher than 8, but this is not true. For example, NODES_SHIFT = 9 will give us a 64 bytes nodemask_t. Let us fix up the comment for that. Another thing is that it might make sense to let values lower than 128bytes be allocated in the stack. Although this all depends on the depth of the stack (and this changes from function to function), I think that 64 bytes is something we can easily afford. So we could even bump the limit by 1 (from > 8 to > 9). Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180820085516.9687-1-osalvador@techadventures.netSigned-off-by:

The call to strlcpy in backing_dev_store is incorrect. It should take the size of the destination buffer instead of the size of the source buffer. Additionally, ignore the newline character (\n) when reading the new file_name buffer. This makes it possible to set the backing_dev as follows: echo /dev/sdX > /sys/block/zram0/backing_dev The reason it worked before was the fact that strlcpy() copies 'len - 1' bytes, which is strlen(buf) - 1 in our case, so it accidentally didn't copy the trailing new line symbol. Which also means that "echo -n /dev/sdX" most likely was broken. Signed-off-by:

Currently, percpu memory only exposes allocation and utilization information via debugfs. This more or less is only really useful for understanding the fragmentation and allocation information at a per-chunk level with a few global counters. This is also gated behind a config. BPF and cgroup, for example, have seen an increase in use causing increased use of percpu memory. Let's make it easier for someone to identify how much memory is being used. This patch adds the "Percpu" stat to meminfo to more easily look up how much percpu memory is in use. This number includes the cost for all allocated backing pages and not just insight at the per a unit, per chunk level. Metadata is excluded. I think excluding metadata is fair because the backing memory scales with the numbere of cpus and can quickly outweigh the metadata. It also makes this calculation light.

Roman Gushchin authored
For some workloads an intervention from the OOM killer can be painful. Killing a random task can bring the workload into an inconsistent state. Historically, there are two common solutions for this problem: 1) enabling panic_on_oom, 2) using a userspace daemon to monitor OOMs and kill all outstanding processes. Both approaches have their downsides: rebooting on each OOM is an obvious waste of capacity, and handling all in userspace is tricky and requires a userspace agent, which will monitor all cgroups for OOMs. In most cases an in-kernel after-OOM cleaning-up mechanism can eliminate the necessity of enabling panic_on_oom. Also, it can simplify the cgroup management for userspace applications. This commit introduces a new knob for cgroup v2 memory controller: memory.oom.group. The knob determines whether the cgroup should be treated as an indivisible workload by the OOM killer. If set, all tasks belonging to the cgroup or to its descendants (if the memory cgroup is not a leaf cgroup) are killed together or not at all. To determine which cgroup has to be killed, we do traverse the cgroup hierarchy from the victim task's cgroup up to the OOMing cgroup (or root) and looking for the highest-level cgroup with memory.oom.group set. Tasks with the OOM protection (oom_score_adj set to -1000) are treated as an exception and are never killed. This patch doesn't change the OOM victim selection algorithm.

Patch series "introduce memory.oom.group", v2. This is a tiny implementation of cgroup-aware OOM killer, which adds an ability to kill a cgroup as a single unit and so guarantee the integrity of the workload. Although it has only a limited functionality in comparison to what now resides in the mm tree (it doesn't change the victim task selection algorithm, doesn't look at memory stas on cgroup level, etc), it's also much simpler and more straightforward. So, hopefully, we can avoid having long debates here, as we had with the full implementation. As it doesn't prevent any futher development, and implements an useful and complete feature, it looks as a sane way forward. This patch (of 2): oom_kill_process() consists of two logical parts: the first one is responsible for considering task's children as a potential victim and printing the debug information. The second half is responsible for sending SIGKILL to all tasks sharing the mm struct with the given victim. This commit splits oom_kill_process() with an intention to re-use the the second half: __oom_kill_process(). The cgroup-aware OOM killer will kill multiple tasks belonging to the victim cgroup. We don't need to print the debug information for the each task, as well as play with task selection (considering task's children), so we can't use the existing oom_kill_process().

Currently, whenever a new node is created/re-used from the memhotplug path, we call free_area_init_node()->free_area_init_core(). But there is some code that we do not really need to run when we are coming from such path. free_area_init_core() performs the following actions: 1) Initializes pgdat internals, such as spinlock, waitqueues and more. 2) Account # nr_all_pages and # nr_kernel_pages. These values are used later on when creating hash tables. 3) Account number of managed_pages per zone, substracting dma_reserved and memmap pages. 4) Initializes some fields of the zone structure data 5) Calls init_currently_empty_zone to initialize all the freelists 6) Calls memmap_init to initialize all pages belonging to certain zone When called from memhotplug path, free_area_init_core() only performs actions #1 and #4. Action #2 is pointless as the zones do not have any pages since either the node was freed, or we are re-using it, eitherway all zones belonging to this node should have 0 pages. For the same reason, action #3 results always in manages_pages being 0. Action #5 and #6 are performed later on when onlining the pages: online_pages()->move_pfn_range_to_zone()->init_currently_empty_zone() online_pages()->move_pfn_range_to_zone()->memmap_init_zone() This patch does two things: First, moves the node/zone initializtion to their own function, so it allows us to create a small version of free_area_init_core, where we only perform: 1) Initialization of pgdat internals, such as spinlock, waitqueues and more 4) Initialization of some fields of the zone structure data These two functions are: pgdat_init_internals() and zone_init_internals(). The second thing this patch does, is to introduce free_area_init_core_hotplug(), the memhotplug version of free_area_init_core(): Currently, we call free_area_init_node() from the memhotplug path. In there, we set some pgdat's fields, and call calculate_node_totalpages(). calculate_node_totalpages() calculates the # of pages the node has. Since the node is either new, or we are re-using it, the zones belonging to this node should not have any pages, so there is no point to calculate this now. Actually, we re-set these values to 0 later on with the calls to: reset_node_managed_pages() reset_node_present_pages() The # of pages per node and the # of pages per zone will be calculated when onlining the pages: online_pages()->move_pfn_range()->move_pfn_range_to_zone()->resize_zone_range() online_pages()->move_pfn_range()->move_pfn_range_to_zone()->resize_pgdat_range() Also, since free_area_init_core/free_area_init_node will now only get called during early init, let us replace __paginginit with __init, so their code gets freed up.

Patch series "Refactor free_area_init_core and add free_area_init_core_hotplug", v6. This patchset does three things: 1) Clean up/refactor free_area_init_core/free_area_init_node by moving the ifdefery out of the functions. 2) Move the pgdat/zone initialization in free_area_init_core to its own function. 3) Introduce free_area_init_core_hotplug, a small subset of free_area_init_core, which is only called from memhotlug code path. In this way, we have: free_area_init_core: called during early initialization free_area_init_core_hotplug: called whenever a new node is allocated/re-used (memhotplug path) This patch (of 5): Moving the #ifdefs out of the function makes it easier to follow.

is_dev_zone() is using zone_id() to check if the zone is ZONE_DEVICE. zone_id() looks pretty much the same as zone_idx(), and while the use of zone_idx() is quite spread in the kernel, zone_id() is only being used by is_dev_zone(). This patch removes zone_id() and makes is_dev_zone() use zone_idx() to check the zone, so we do not have two things with the same functionality around.

Currently cgroup-v1's memcg_stat_show traverses the memcg tree ~17 times to collect the stats while cgroup-v2's memory_stat_show traverses the memcg tree thrice. On a large machine, a couple thousand memcgs is very normal and if the churn is high and memcgs stick around during to several reasons, tens of thousands of nodes in memcg tree can exist. This patch has refactored and shared the stat collection code between cgroup-v1 and cgroup-v2 and has reduced the tree traversal to just one. I ran a simple benchmark which reads the root_mem_cgroup's stat file 1000 times in the presense of 2500 memcgs on cgroup-v1.

The /proc/pid/smaps_rollup file is currently implemented via the m_start/m_next/m_stop seq_file iterators shared with the other maps files, that iterate over vma's. However, the rollup file doesn't print anything for each vma, only accumulate the stats. There are some issues with the current code as reported in [1] - the accumulated stats can get skewed if seq_file start()/stop() op is called multiple times, if show() is called multiple times, and after seeks to non-zero position. Patch [1] fixed those within existing design, but I believe it is fundamentally wrong to expose the vma iterators to the seq_file mechanism when smaps_rollup shows logically a single set of values for the whole address space. This patch thus refactors the code to provide a single "value" at offset 0, with vma iteration to gather the stats done internally. This fixes the situations where results are skewed, and simplifies the code, especially in show_smap(), at the expense of somewhat less code reuse.

Patch series "cleanups and refactor of /proc/pid/smaps*". The recent regression in /proc/pid/smaps made me look more into the code. Especially the issues with smaps_rollup reported in [1] as explained in Patch 4, which fixes them by refactoring the code. Patches 2 and 3 are preparations for that. Patch 1 is me realizing that there's a lot of boilerplate left from times where we tried (unsuccessfuly) to mark thread stacks in the output. Originally I had also plans to rework the translation from /proc/pid/*maps* file offsets to the internal structures. Now the offset means "vma number", which is not really stable (vma's can come and go between read() calls) and there's an extra caching of last vma's address. My idea was that offsets would be interpreted directly as addresses, which would also allow meaningful seeks (see the ugly seek_to_smaps_entry() in tools/testing/selftests/vm/mlock2.h). However loff_t is (signed) long long so that might be insufficient somewhere for the unsigned long addresses. So the result is fixed issues with skewed /proc/pid/smaps_rollup results, simpler smaps code, and a lot of unused code removed. [1] https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=151927723128134&w=2 This patch (of 4): Commit b7643757 ("procfs: mark thread stack correctly in proc/<pid>/maps") introduced differences between /proc/PID/maps and /proc/PID/task/TID/maps to mark thread stacks properly, and this was also done for smaps and numa_maps. However it didn't work properly and was ultimately removed by commit b18cb64e ("fs/proc: Stop trying to report thread stacks"). Now the is_pid parameter for the related show_*() functions is unused and we can remove it together with wrapper functions and ops structures that differ for PID and TID cases only in this parameter.

Andrew has noticed some inconsistencies in oom_reap_task_mm. Notably - Undocumented return value. - comment "failed to reap part..." is misleading - sounds like it's referring to something which happened in the past, is in fact referring to something which might happen in the future. - fails to call trace_finish_task_reaping() in one case - code duplication. - Increases mmap_sem hold time a little by moving trace_finish_task_reaping() inside the locked region. So sue me ;) - Sharing the finish: path means that the trace event won't distinguish between the two sources of finishing. Add a short explanation for the return value and fix the rest by reorganizing the function a bit to have unified function exit paths.

The default page memory unit of OOM task dump events might not be intuitive and potentially misleading for the non-initiated when debugging OOM events: These are pages and not kBs. Add a small printk prior to the task dump informing that the memory units are actually memory _pages_. Also extends PID field to align on up to 7 characters.

oom_reaper used to rely on the oom_lock since e2fe1456 ("oom_reaper: close race with exiting task"). We do not really need the lock anymore though. 21292580 ("mm: oom: let oom_reap_task and exit_mmap run concurrently") has removed serialization with the exit path based on the mm reference count and so we do not really rely on the oom_lock anymore. Tetsuo was arguing that at least MMF_OOM_SKIP should be set under the lock to prevent from races when the page allocator didn't manage to get the freed (reaped) memory in __alloc_pages_may_oom but it sees the flag later on and move on to another victim. Although this is possible in principle let's wait for it to actually happen in real life before we make the locking more complex again. Therefore remove the oom_lock for oom_reaper paths (both exit_mmap and oom_reap_task_mm). The reaper serializes with exit_mmap by mmap_sem + MMF_OOM_SKIP flag. There is no synchronization with out_of_memory path now.

There are several blockable mmu notifiers which might sleep in mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start and that is a problem for the oom_reaper because it needs to guarantee a forward progress so it cannot depend on any sleepable locks. Currently we simply back off and mark an oom victim with blockable mmu notifiers as done after a short sleep. That can result in selecting a new oom victim prematurely because the previous one still hasn't torn its memory down yet. We can do much better though. Even if mmu notifiers use sleepable locks there is no reason to automatically assume those locks are held. Moreover majority of notifiers only care about a portion of the address space and there is absolutely zero reason to fail when we are unmapping an unrelated range. Many notifiers do really block and wait for HW which is harder to handle and we have to bail out though. This patch handles the low hanging fruit. __mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start gets a blockable flag and callbacks are not allowed to sleep if the flag is set to false. This is achieved by using trylock instead of the sleepable lock for most callbacks and continue as long as we do not block down the call chain. I think we can improve that even further because there is a common pattern to do a range lookup first and then do something about that. The first part can be done without a sleeping lock in most cases AFAICS. The oom_reaper end then simply retries if there is at least one notifier which couldn't make any progress in !blockable mode. A retry loop is already implemented to wait for the mmap_sem and this is basically the same thing. The simplest way for driver developers to test this code path is to wrap userspace code which uses these notifiers into a memcg and set the hard limit to hit the oom. This can be done e.g. after the test faults in all the mmu notifier managed memory and set the hard limit to something really small. Then we are looking for a proper process tear down.
