mm: oom: show unreclaimable slab info when unreclaimable slabs > user memory
The kernel may panic when an oom happens without killable process sometimes it is caused by huge unreclaimable slabs used by kernel. Although kdump could help debug such problem, however, kdump is not available on all architectures and it might be malfunction sometime. And, since kernel already panic it is worthy capturing such information in dmesg to aid touble shooting. Print out unreclaimable slab info (used size and total size) which actual memory usage is not zero (num_objs * size != 0) when unreclaimable slabs amount is greater than total user memory (LRU pages). The output looks like: Unreclaimable slab info: Name Used Total rpc_buffers 31KB 31KB rpc_tasks 7KB 7KB ebitmap_node 1964KB 1964KB avtab_node 5024KB 5024KB xfs_buf 1402KB 1402KB xfs_ili 134KB 134KB xfs_efi_item 115KB 115KB xfs_efd_item 115KB 115KB xfs_buf_item 134KB 134KB xfs_log_item_desc 342KB 342KB xfs_trans 1412KB 1412KB xfs_ifork 212KB 212KB [yang.s@alibaba-inc.com: v11] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1507656303-103845-4-git-send-email-yang.s@alibaba-inc.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1507152550-46205-4-git-send-email-yang.s@alibaba-inc.com Signed-off-by: Yang Shi <yang.s@alibaba-inc.com> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
