The size of the dump is currently set using the RECORD_SIZE macro which is set to a page size. This patch makes the record size a module parameter and allows it to be set through platform data as well to allow larger dumps if needed. Signed-off-by:

Don't force output if you intend to reboot immediately. In this patch, I'm disabling the functionality enabled by vc->vc_panic_force_write if panic_timeout < 0 (i.e. no timeout). vc_panic_force_write is only enabled for fb video consoles if the FBINFO_CAN_FORCE_OUTPUT flag is set. For our application, we're using ram_oops to preserved the panic in memory. We want to reliably, and as fast as possible, machine_restart. The vc_panic_force_write flag results in a bunch of graphics driver code to be invoked which slows down restart and decreases reliability. Since we're already storing the panic in RAM and are going to reboot immediately, there is no benefit in mode switching back to the vc in order to display the panic output. The log buffer will get flushed by the console_unblank() call so remote management consoles should see all output. Signed-off-by:

When a kernel BUG or oops occurs, ChromeOS intends to panic and immediately reboot, with stacktrace and other messages preserved in RAM across reboot. But the longer we delay, the more likely the user is to poweroff and lose the info. panic_timeout (seconds before rebooting) is set by panic= boot option or sysctl or /proc/sys/kernel/panic; but 0 means wait forever, so at present we have to delay at least 1 second. Let a negative number mean reboot immediately (with the small cosmetic benefit of suppressing that newline-less "Rebooting in %d seconds.." message). Signed-off-by:

Add support for the shm_rmid_forced sysctl. If set to 1, all shared memory objects in current ipc namespace will be automatically forced to use IPC_RMID. The POSIX way of handling shmem allows one to create shm objects and call shmdt(), leaving shm object associated with no process, thus consuming memory not counted via rlimits. With shm_rmid_forced=1 the shared memory object is counted at least for one process, so OOM killer may effectively kill the fat process holding the shared memory. It obviously breaks POSIX - some programs relying on the feature would stop working. So set shm_rmid_forced=1 only if you're sure nobody uses "orphaned" memory. Use shm_rmid_forced=0 by default for compatability reasons. The feature was previously impemented in -ow as a configure option.

We return ENOMEM from mqueue_get_inode even when we have enough memory. Namely in case the system rlimit of mqueue was reached. This error propagates to mq_queue and user sees the error unexpectedly. So fix this up to properly return EMFILE as described in the manpage: EMFILE The process already has the maximum number of files and message queues open. instead of: ENOMEM Insufficient memory. With the previous patch we just switch to ERR_PTR/PTR_ERR/IS_ERR error handling here. Signed-off-by:

If new_inode fails to allocate an inode we need only to return with NULL. But now we test the opposite and have all the work in a nested block. So do the opposite to save one indentation level (and remove unnecessary line breaks). This is only a preparation/cleanup for the next patch where we fix up return values from mqueue_get_inode.

Currently, search_binary_handler() tries to load binary loader module using request_module() if a loader for the requested program is not yet loaded. But second attempt of request_module() does not affect the result of search_binary_handler(). If request_module() triggered recursion, calling request_module() twice causes 2 to the power of MAX_KMOD_CONCURRENT (= 50) repetitions. It is not an infinite loop but is sufficient for users to consider as a hang up. Therefore, this patch changes not to call request_module() twice, making 1 to the power of MAX_KMOD_CONCURRENT repetitions in case of recursion. Signed-off-by:

If an inode's mode permits opening /proc/PID/io and the resulting file descriptor is kept across execve() of a setuid or similar binary, the ptrace_may_access() check tries to prevent using this fd against the task with escalated privileges. Unfortunately, there is a race in the check against execve(). If execve() is processed after the ptrace check, but before the actual io information gathering, io statistics will be gathered from the privileged process. At least in theory this might lead to gathering sensible information (like ssh/ftp password length) that wouldn't be available otherwise. Holding task->signal->cred_guard_mutex while gathering the io information should protect against the race. The order of locking is similar to the one inside of ptrace_attach(): first goes cred_guard_mutex, then lock_task_sighand(). Signed-off-by:

do_coredump() assumes that if format_corename() fails it should return -ENOMEM. This is not true, for example cn_print_exe_file() can propagate the error from d_path. Even if it was true, this is too fragile. Change the code to check "ispipe < 0". Signed-off-by:

Change every occurence of / in comm and hostname to !. If the process changes its name to contain /, the core is not dumped (if the directory tree doesn't exist like that). The same with hostname being something like myhost/3. Fix this behaviour by using the escape loop used in %E. (We extract it to a separate function.) Now both with comm == myprocess/1 and hostname == myhost/1, the core is dumped like (kernel.core_pattern='core.%p.%e.%h): core.2349.myprocess!1.myhost!1 Signed-off-by:

[ This patch has already been accepted as commit 0ac0c0d0 but later reverted (commit 35926ff5) because it itroduced arch specific __node_random which was defined only for x86 code so it broke other archs. This is a followup without any arch specific code. Other than that there are no functional changes.] Some workloads that create a large number of small files tend to assign too many pages to node 0 (multi-node systems). Part of the reason is that the rotor (in cpuset_mem_spread_node()) used to assign nodes starts at node 0 for newly created tasks. This patch changes the rotor to be initialized to a random node number of the cpuset.

percpu_charge_mutex protects from multiple simultaneous per-cpu charge caches draining because we might end up having too many work items. At least this was the case until commit 26fe6168 ("memcg: fix percpu cached charge draining frequency") when we introduced a more targeted draining for async mode. Now that also sync draining is targeted we can safely remove mutex because we will not send more work than the current number of CPUs. FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE protects from sending the same work multiple times and stock->nr_pages == 0 protects from pointless sending a work if there is obviously nothing to be done. This is of course racy but we can live with it as the race window is really small (we would have to see FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE cleared while nr_pages would be still non-zero). The only remaining place where we can race is synchronous mode when we rely on FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE test which might have been set by other drainer on the same group but we should wait in that case as well.

Currently we have two ways how to drain per-CPU caches for charges. drain_all_stock_sync will synchronously drain all caches while drain_all_stock_async will asynchronously drain only those that refer to a given memory cgroup or its subtree in hierarchy. Targeted async draining has been introduced by 26fe6168 (memcg: fix percpu cached charge draining frequency) to reduce the cpu workers number. sync draining is currently triggered only from mem_cgroup_force_empty which is triggered only by userspace (mem_cgroup_force_empty_write) or when a cgroup is removed (mem_cgroup_pre_destroy). Although these are not usually frequent operations it still makes some sense to do targeted draining as well, especially if the box has many CPUs. This patch unifies both methods to use the single code (drain_all_stock) which relies on the original async implementation and just adds flush_work to wait on all caches that are still under work for the sync mode. We are using FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE bit check to prevent from waiting on a work that we haven't triggered. Please note that both sync and async functions are currently protected by percpu_charge_mutex so we cannot race with other drainers. Signed-off-by:

drain_all_stock_async tries to optimize a work to be done on the work queue by excluding any work for the current CPU because it assumes that the context we are called from already tried to charge from that cache and it's failed so it must be empty already. While the assumption is correct we can optimize it even more by checking the current number of pages in the cache. This will also reduce a work on other CPUs with an empty stock. For the current CPU we can simply call drain_local_stock rather than deferring it to the work queue.

The commit log of 0ae5e89c ("memcg: count the soft_limit reclaim in...") says it adds scanning stats to memory.stat file. But it doesn't because we considered we needed to make a concensus for such new APIs. This patch is a trial to add memory.scan_stat. This shows - the number of scanned pages(total, anon, file) - the number of rotated pages(total, anon, file) - the number of freed pages(total, anon, file) - the number of elaplsed time (including sleep/pause time) for both of direct/soft reclaim. The biggest difference with oringinal Ying's one is that this file can be reset by some write, as # echo 0 ...../memory.scan_stat Example of output is here. This is a result after make -j 6 kernel under 300M limit.

This will be useful for further memcg developments and need to be developped before we do some complicated rework on LRU/softlimit management. This patch adds a new struct memcg_scanrecord into scan_control struct. sc->nr_scanned at el is not designed for exporting information. For example, nr_scanned is reset frequentrly and incremented +2 at scanning mapped pages. To avoid complexity, I added a new param in scan_control which is for exporting scanning score.

Commit 22a668d7 ("memcg: fix behavior under memory.limit equals to memsw.limit") introduced "memsw_is_minimum" flag, which becomes true when mem_limit == memsw_limit. The flag is checked at the beginning of reclaim, and "noswap" is set if the flag is true, because using swap is meaningless in this case. This works well in most cases, but when we try to shrink mem_limit, which is the same as memsw_limit now, we might fail to shrink mem_limit because swap doesn't used. This patch fixes this behavior by: - check MEM_CGROUP_RECLAIM_SHRINK at the begining of reclaim - If it is set, don't set "noswap" flag even if memsw_is_minimum is true. Signed-off-by:

Commit 246e87a9 ("memcg: fix get_scan_count() for small targets") fixes the memcg/kswapd behavior against small targets and prevent vmscan priority too high. But the implementation is too naive and adds another problem to small memcg. It always force scan to 32 pages of file/anon and doesn't handle swappiness and other rotate_info. It makes vmscan to scan anon LRU regardless of swappiness and make reclaim bad. This patch fixes it by adjusting scanning count with regard to swappiness at el.

memcg_oom_mutex is used to protect memcg OOM path and eventfd interface for oom_control. None of the critical sections which it protects sleep (eventfd_signal works from atomic context and the rest are simple linked list resp. oom_lock atomic operations). Mutex is also too heavyweight for those code paths because it triggers a lot of scheduling. It also makes makes convoying effects more visible when we have a big number of oom killing because we take the lock mutliple times during mem_cgroup_handle_oom so we have multiple places where many processes can sleep.
