2018-04-05mm,oom_reaper: check for MMF_OOM_SKIP before complainingTetsuo Handa
I got "oom_reaper: unable to reap pid:" messages when the victim thread was blocked inside free_pgtables() (which occurred after returning from unmap_vmas() and setting MMF_OOM_SKIP). We don't need to complain when exit_mmap() already set MMF_OOM_SKIP.

2018-04-05mm, oom: remove 3% bonus for CAP_SYS_ADMIN processesDavid Rientjes
Since the 2.6 kernel, the oom killer has slightly biased away from CAP_SYS_ADMIN processes by discounting some of its memory usage in comparison to other processes. This has always been implicit and nothing exactly relies on the behavior. Gaurav notices that __task_cred() can dereference a potentially freed pointer if the task under consideration is exiting because a reference to the task_struct is not held. Remove the CAP_SYS_ADMIN bias so that all processes are treated equally. If any CAP_SYS_ADMIN process would like to be biased against, it is always allowed to adjust /proc/pid/oom_score_adj.

We only synchronize with the oom reaper if tsk_is_oom_victim which is not true if the final __mmput is called from a different context than the oom victim exit path. This can trivially happen from context of any task which has grabbed mm reference (e.g. to read /proc/<pid>/ file which requires mm etc.). The race would look like this oom_reaper oom_victim task mmget_not_zero do_exit mmput __oom_reap_task_mm mmput __mmput exit_mmap remove_vma unmap_page_range Fix this issue by providing a new mm_is_oom_victim() helper which operates on the mm struct rather than a task. Any context which operates on a remote mm struct should use this helper in place of tsk_is_oom_victim. The flag is set in mark_oom_victim and never cleared so it is stable in the exit_mmap path.

2017-11-29mm, oom_reaper: gather each vma to prevent leaking TLB entryWang Nan
tlb_gather_mmu(&tlb, mm, 0, -1) means gathering the whole virtual memory space. In this case, tlb->fullmm is true. Some archs like arm64 doesn't flush TLB when tlb->fullmm is true: commit 5a7862e83000 ("arm64: tlbflush: avoid flushing when fullmm == 1"). Which causes leaking of tlb entries. Will clarifies his patch: "Basically, we tag each address space with an ASID (PCID on x86) which is resident in the TLB. This means we can elide TLB invalidation when pulling down a full mm because we won't ever assign that ASID to another mm without doing TLB invalidation elsewhere (which actually just nukes the whole TLB). I think that means that we could potentially not fault on a kernel uaccess, because we could hit in the TLB" There could be a window between complete_signal() sending IPI to other cores and all threads sharing this mm are really kicked off from cores. In this window, the oom reaper may calls tlb_flush_mmu_tlbonly() to flush TLB then frees pages. However, due to the above problem, the TLB entries are not really flushed on arm64. Other threads are possible to access these pages through TLB entries. Moreover, a copy_to_user() can also write to these pages without generating page fault, causes use-after-free bugs. This patch gathers each vma instead of gathering full vm space. In this case tlb->fullmm is not true. The behavior of oom reaper become similar to munmapping before do_exit, which should be safe for all archs.

2017-11-15mm: simplify nodemask printingMichal Hocko
alloc_warn() and dump_header() have to explicitly handle NULL nodemask which forces both paths to use pr_cont. We can do better. printk already handles NULL pointers properly so all we need is to teach nodemask_pr_args to handle NULL nodemask carefully. This allows simplification of both alloc_warn() and dump_header() and gets rid of pr_cont altogether. This patch has been motivated by patch from Joe Perches http://lkml.kernel.org/r/b31236dfe3fc924054fd7842bde678e71d193638.1509991345.git.joe@perches.com [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix tile warning, per Arnd] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171109100531.3cn2hcqnuj7mjaju@dhcp22.suse.cz Signed-off-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Acked-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2017-11-15mm: consolidate page table accountingKirill A. Shutemov
Currently, we account page tables separately for each page table level, but that's redundant -- we only make use of total memory allocated to page tables for oom_badness calculation. We also provide the information to userspace, but it has dubious value there too. This patch switches page table accounting to single counter. mm->pgtables_bytes is now used to account all page table levels. We use bytes, because page table size for different levels of page table tree may be different. The change has user-visible effect: we don't have VmPMD and VmPUD reported in /proc/[pid]/status. Not sure if anybody uses them. (As alternative, we can always report 0 kB for them.) OOM-killer report is also slightly changed: we now report pgtables_bytes instead of nr_ptes, nr_pmd, nr_puds. Apart from reducing number of counters per-mm, the benefit is that we now calculate oom_badness() more correctly for machines which have different size of page tables depending on level or where page tables are less than a page in size. The only downside can be debuggability because we do not know which page table level could leak. But I do not remember many bugs that would be caught by separate counters so I wouldn't lose sleep over this.

2017-11-15mm: account pud page tablesKirill A. Shutemov
On a machine with 5-level paging support a process can allocate significant amount of memory and stay unnoticed by oom-killer and memory cgroup. The trick is to allocate a lot of PUD page tables. We don't account PUD page tables, only PMD and PTE. We already addressed the same issue for PMD page tables, see commit dc6c9a35b66b ("mm: account pmd page tables to the process"). Introduction of 5-level paging brings the same issue for PUD page tables. The patch expands accounting to PUD level.

2017-11-15mm: oom: show unreclaimable slab info when unreclaimable slabs > user memoryYang Shi
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).

2017-10-03mm, oom_reaper: skip mm structs with mmu notifiersMichal Hocko
Andrea has noticed that the oom_reaper doesn't invalidate the range via mmu notifiers (mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start/end) and that can corrupt the memory of the kvm guest for example. tlb_flush_mmu_tlbonly already invokes mmu notifiers but that is not sufficient as per Andrea: "mmu_notifier_invalidate_range cannot be used in replacement of mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start/end. For KVM mmu_notifier_invalidate_range is a noop and rightfully so. A MMU notifier implementation has to implement either ->invalidate_range method or the invalidate_range_start/end methods, not both. And if you implement invalidate_range_start/end like KVM is forced to do, calling mmu_notifier_invalidate_range in common code is a noop for KVM. For those MMU notifiers that can get away only implementing ->invalidate_range, the ->invalidate_range is implicitly called by mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end(). And only those secondary MMUs that share the same pagetable with the primary MMU (like AMD iommuv2) can get away only implementing ->invalidate_range" As the callback is allowed to sleep and the implementation is out of hand of the MM it is safer to simply bail out if there is an mmu notifier registered. In order to not fail too early make the mm_has_notifiers check under the oom_lock and have a little nap before failing to give the current oom victim some more time to exit.

2017-09-06mm: oom: let oom_reap_task and exit_mmap run concurrentlyAndrea Arcangeli
This is purely required because exit_aio() may block and exit_mmap() may never start, if the oom_reap_task cannot start running on a mm with mm_users == 0. At the same time if the OOM reaper doesn't wait at all for the memory of the current OOM candidate to be freed by exit_mmap->unmap_vmas, it would generate a spurious OOM kill. If it wasn't because of the exit_aio or similar blocking functions in the last mmput, it would be enough to change the oom_reap_task() in the case it finds mm_users == 0, to wait for a timeout or to wait for __mmput to set MMF_OOM_SKIP itself, but it's not just exit_mmap the problem here so the concurrency of exit_mmap and oom_reap_task is apparently warranted. It's a non standard runtime, exit_mmap() runs without mmap_sem, and oom_reap_task runs with the mmap_sem for reading as usual (kind of MADV_DONTNEED). The race between the two is solved with a combination of tsk_is_oom_victim() (serialized by task_lock) and MMF_OOM_SKIP (serialized by a dummy down_write/up_write cycle on the same lines of the ksm_exit method). If the oom_reap_task() may be running concurrently during exit_mmap, exit_mmap will wait it to finish in down_write (before taking down mm structures that would make the oom_reap_task fail with use after free). If exit_mmap comes first, oom_reap_task() will skip the mm if MMF_OOM_SKIP is already set and in turn all memory is already freed and furthermore the mm data structures may already have been taken down by free_pgtables.

2017-09-06mm, oom: do not rely on TIF_MEMDIE for memory reserves accessMichal Hocko
For ages we have been relying on TIF_MEMDIE thread flag to mark OOM victims and then, among other things, to give these threads full access to memory reserves. There are few shortcomings of this implementation, though. First of all and the most serious one is that the full access to memory reserves is quite dangerous because we leave no safety room for the system to operate and potentially do last emergency steps to move on. Secondly this flag is per task_struct while the OOM killer operates on mm_struct granularity so all processes sharing the given mm are killed. Giving the full access to all these task_structs could lead to a quick memory reserves depletion. We have tried to reduce this risk by giving TIF_MEMDIE only to the main thread and the currently allocating task but that doesn't really solve this problem while it surely opens up a room for corner cases - e.g. GFP_NO{FS,IO} requests might loop inside the allocator without access to memory reserves because a particular thread was not the group leader. Now that we have the oom reaper and that all oom victims are reapable after 1b51e65eab64 ("oom, oom_reaper: allow to reap mm shared by the kthreads") we can be more conservative and grant only partial access to memory reserves because there are reasonable chances of the parallel memory freeing. We still want some access to reserves because we do not want other consumers to eat up the victim's freed memory. oom victims will still contend with __GFP_HIGH users but those shouldn't be so aggressive to starve oom victims completely. Introduce ALLOC_OOM flag and give all tsk_is_oom_victim tasks access to the half of the reserves. This makes the access to reserves independent on which task has passed through mark_oom_victim. Also drop any usage of TIF_MEMDIE from the page allocator proper and replace it by tsk_is_oom_victim as well which will make page_alloc.c completely TIF_MEMDIE free finally. CONFIG_MMU=n doesn't have oom reaper so let's stick to the original ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS approach. There is a demand to make the oom killer memcg aware which will imply many tasks killed at once. This change will allow such a usecase without worrying about complete memory reserves depletion.

2017-07-10mm/oom_kill.c: add tracepoints for oom reaper-related eventsRoman Gushchin
During the debugging of the problem described in https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/5/17/542 and fixed by Tetsuo Handa in https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/5/19/383 , I've found that the existing debug output is not really useful to understand issues related to the oom reaper. So, I assume, that adding some tracepoints might help with debugging of similar issues.

Show count of oom killer invocations in /proc/vmstat and count of processes killed in memory cgroup in knob "memory.events" (in memory.oom_control for v1 cgroup). Also describe difference between "oom" and "oom_kill" in memory cgroup documentation. Currently oom in memory cgroup kills tasks iff shortage has happened inside page fault. These counters helps in monitoring oom kills - for now the only way is grepping for magic words in kernel log.

2017-05-03oom: improve oom disable handlingMichal Hocko
Tetsuo has reported that sysrq triggered OOM killer will print a misleading information when no tasks are selected: sysrq: SysRq : Manual OOM execution Out of memory: Kill process 4468 ((agetty)) score 0 or sacrifice child Killed process 4468 ((agetty)) total-vm:43704kB, anon-rss:1760kB, file-rss:0kB, shmem-rss:0kB sysrq: SysRq : Manual OOM execution Out of memory: Kill process 4469 (systemd-cgroups) score 0 or sacrifice child Killed process 4469 (systemd-cgroups) total-vm:10704kB, anon-rss:120kB, file-rss:0kB, shmem-rss:0kB sysrq: SysRq : Manual OOM execution sysrq: OOM request ignored because killer is disabled sysrq: SysRq : Manual OOM execution sysrq: OOM request ignored because killer is disabled sysrq: SysRq : Manual OOM execution sysrq: OOM request ignored because killer is disabled The real reason is that there are no eligible tasks for the OOM killer to select but since commit 7c5f64f84483 ("mm: oom: deduplicate victim selection code for memcg and global oom") the semantic of out_of_memory has changed without updating moom_callback. This patch updates moom_callback to tell that no task was eligible which is the case for both oom killer disabled and no eligible tasks. In order to help distinguish first case from the second add printk to both oom_killer_{enable,disable}. This information is useful on its own because it might help debugging potential memory allocation failures.

2017-02-24mm, oom: header nodemask is NULL when cpusets are disabledDavid Rientjes
Commit 82e7d3abec86 ("oom: print nodemask in the oom report") implicitly sets the allocation nodemask to cpuset_current_mems_allowed when there is no effective mempolicy. cpuset_current_mems_allowed is only effective when cpusets are enabled, which is also printed by dump_header(), so setting the nodemask to cpuset_current_mems_allowed is redundant and prevents debugging issues where ac->nodemask is not set properly in the page allocator. This provides better debugging output since cpuset_print_current_mems_allowed() is already provided.

2017-02-22mm, oom: do not enforce OOM killer for __GFP_NOFAIL automaticallyMichal Hocko
__alloc_pages_may_oom makes sure to skip the OOM killer depending on the allocation request. This includes lowmem requests, costly high order requests and others. For a long time __GFP_NOFAIL acted as an override for all those rules. This is not documented and it can be quite surprising as well. E.g. GFP_NOFS requests are not invoking the OOM killer but GFP_NOFS|__GFP_NOFAIL does so if we try to convert some of the existing open coded loops around allocator to nofail request (and we have done that in the past) then such a change would have a non trivial side effect which is far from obvious. Note that the primary motivation for skipping the OOM killer is to prevent from pre-mature invocation. The exception has been added by commit 82553a937f12 ("oom: invoke oom killer for __GFP_NOFAIL"). The changelog points out that the oom killer has to be invoked otherwise the request would be looping for ever. But this argument is rather weak because the OOM killer doesn't really guarantee a forward progress for those exceptional cases: - it will hardly help to form costly order which in turn can result in the system panic because of no oom killable task in the end - I believe we certainly do not want to put the system down just because there is a nasty driver asking for order-9 page with GFP_NOFAIL not realizing all the consequences. It is much better this request would loop for ever than the massive system disruption - lowmem is also highly unlikely to be freed during OOM killer - GFP_NOFS request could trigger while there is still a lot of memory pinned by filesystems. This patch simply removes the __GFP_NOFAIL special case in order to have a more clear semantic without surprising side effects.

2017-02-22lib/show_mem.c: teach show_mem to work with the given nodemaskMichal Hocko
show_mem() allows to filter out node specific data which is irrelevant to the allocation request via SHOW_MEM_FILTER_NODES. The filtering is done in skip_free_areas_node which skips all nodes which are not in the mems_allowed of the current process. This works most of the time as expected because the nodemask shouldn't be outside of the allocating task but there are some exceptions. E.g. memory hotplug might want to request allocations from outside of the allowed nodes (see new_node_page). Get rid of this hardcoded behavior and push the allocation mask down the show_mem path and use it instead of cpuset_current_mems_allowed. NULL nodemask is interpreted as cpuset_current_mems_allowed.

no lowmem_reserve[]: 0 0 0 0 So all nodes but Node 0 have a lot of free memory which should suggest that there is an available memory especially when mems_allowed=0-7. One could speculate that a massive process has managed to terminate and free up a lot of memory while racing with the above allocation request. Although this is highly unlikely it cannot be ruled out. A further debugging, however shown that the faulting process had mempolicy (not cpuset) to bind to Node 0. We cannot see that information from the report though. mems_allowed turned out to be more confusing than really helpful. Fix this by always priting the nodemask. It is either mempolicy mask (and non-null) or the one defined by the cpusets. The new output for the above oom report would be PoolThread invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x280da(GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE|__GFP_ZERO), nodemask=0, order=0, oom_adj=0, oom_score_adj=0 This patch doesn't touch show_mem and the node filtering based on the cpuset node mask because mempolicy is always a subset of cpusets and seeing the full cpuset oom context might be helpful for tunning more specific mempolicies inside cpusets (e.g. when they turn out to be too restrictive). To prevent from ugly ifdefs the mask is printed even for !NUMA configurations but this should be OK (a single node will be printed).

Commit c32b3cbe0d06 ("oom, PM: make OOM detection in the freezer path raceless") inserted a WARN_ON() into pagefault_out_of_memory() in order to warn when we raced with disabling the OOM killer. Now, patch "oom, suspend: fix oom_killer_disable vs. pm suspend properly" introduced a timeout for oom_killer_disable(). Even if we raced with disabling the OOM killer and the system is OOM livelocked, the OOM killer will be enabled eventually (in 20 seconds by default) and the OOM livelock will be solved. Therefore, we no longer need to warn when we raced with disabling the OOM killer.

2016-10-07oom: warn if we go OOM for higher order and compaction is disabledMichal Hocko
Since the lumpy reclaim is gone there is no source of higher order pages if CONFIG_COMPACTION=n except for the order-0 pages reclaim which is unreliable for that purpose to say the least. Hitting an OOM for !costly higher order requests is therefore all not that hard to imagine. We are trying hard to not invoke OOM killer as much as possible but there is simply no reliable way to detect whether more reclaim retries make sense. Disabling COMPACTION is not widespread but it seems that some users might have disable the feature without realizing full consequences (mostly along with disabling THP because compaction used to be THP mainly thing). This patch just adds a note if the OOM killer was triggered by higher order request with compaction disabled. This will help us identifying possible misconfiguration right from the oom report which is easier than to always keep in mind that somebody might have disabled COMPACTION without a good reason.

2016-10-07oom, oom_reaper: allow to reap mm shared by the kthreadsMichal Hocko
oom reaper was skipped for an mm which is shared with the kernel thread (aka use_mm()). The primary concern was that such a kthread might want to read from the userspace memory and see zero page as a result of the oom reaper action. This is no longer a problem after "mm: make sure that kthreads will not refault oom reaped memory" because any attempt to fault in when the MMF_UNSTABLE is set will result in SIGBUS and so the target user should see an error. This means that we can finally allow oom reaper also to tasks which share their mm with kthreads.

2016-10-07mm: make sure that kthreads will not refault oom reaped memoryMichal Hocko
There are only few use_mm() users in the kernel right now. Most of them write to the target memory but vhost driver relies on copy_from_user/get_user from a kernel thread context. This makes it impossible to reap the memory of an oom victim which shares the mm with the vhost kernel thread because it could see a zero page unexpectedly and theoretically make an incorrect decision visible outside of the killed task context. To quote Michael S. Tsirkin: : Getting an error from __get_user and friends is handled gracefully. : Getting zero instead of a real value will cause userspace : memory corruption. The vhost kernel thread is bound to an open fd of the vhost device which is not tight to the mm owner life cycle in general. The device fd can be inherited or passed over to another process which means that we really have to be careful about unexpected memory corruption because unlike for normal oom victims the result will be visible outside of the oom victim context. Make sure that no kthread context (users of use_mm) can ever see corrupted data because of the oom reaper and hook into the page fault path by checking MMF_UNSTABLE mm flag. __oom_reap_task_mm will set the flag before it starts unmapping the address space while the flag is checked after the page fault has been handled. If the flag is set then SIGBUS is triggered so any g-u-p user will get a error code. Regular tasks do not need this protection because all which share the mm are killed when the mm is reaped and so the corruption will not outlive them. This patch shouldn't have any visible effect at this moment because the OOM killer doesn't invoke oom reaper for tasks with mm shared with kthreads yet.

2016-10-07oom, suspend: fix oom_killer_disable vs. pm suspend properlyMichal Hocko
Commit 74070542099c ("oom, suspend: fix oom_reaper vs. oom_killer_disable race") has workaround an existing race between oom_killer_disable and oom_reaper by adding another round of try_to_freeze_tasks after the oom killer was disabled. This was the easiest thing to do for a late 4.7 fix. Let's fix it properly now. After "oom: keep mm of the killed task available" we no longer have to call exit_oom_victim from the oom reaper because we have stable mm available and hide the oom_reaped mm by MMF_OOM_SKIP flag. So let's remove exit_oom_victim and the race described in the above commit doesn't exist anymore if. Unfortunately this alone is not sufficient for the oom_killer_disable usecase because now we do not have any reliable way to reach exit_oom_victim (the victim might get stuck on a way to exit for an unbounded amount of time). OOM killer can cope with that by checking mm flags and move on to another victim but we cannot do the same for oom_killer_disable as we would lose the guarantee of no further interference of the victim with the rest of the system. What we can do instead is to cap the maximum time the oom_killer_disable waits for victims. The only current user of this function (pm suspend) already has a concept of timeout for back off so we can reuse the same value there. Let's drop set_freezable for the oom_reaper kthread because it is no longer needed as the reaper doesn't wake or thaw any processes.

After "oom: keep mm of the killed task available" we can safely detect an oom victim by checking task->signal->oom_mm so we do not need the signal_struct counter anymore so let's get rid of it.

2016-10-07oom: keep mm of the killed task availableMichal Hocko
oom_reap_task has to call exit_oom_victim in order to make sure that the oom vicim will not block the oom killer for ever. This is, however, opening new problems (e.g oom_killer_disable exclusion - see commit 74070542099c ("oom, suspend: fix oom_reaper vs. oom_killer_disable race")). exit_oom_victim should be only called from the victim's context ideally. One way to achieve this would be to rely on per mm_struct flags. We already have MMF_OOM_REAPED to hide a task from the oom killer since "mm, oom: hide mm which is shared with kthread or global init". The problem is that the exit path: do_exit exit_mm tsk->mm = NULL; mmput __mmput exit_oom_victim doesn't guarantee that exit_oom_victim will get called in a bounded amount of time. At least exit_aio depends on IO which might get blocked due to lack of memory and who knows what else is lurking there. This patch takes a different approach. We remember tsk->mm into the signal_struct and bind it to the signal struct life time for all oom victims. __oom_reap_task_mm as well as oom_scan_process_thread do not have to rely on find_lock_task_mm anymore and they will have a reliable reference to the mm struct. As a result all the oom specific communication inside the OOM killer can be done via tsk->signal->oom_mm. Increasing the signal_struct for something as unlikely as the oom killer is far from ideal but this approach will make the code much more reasonable and long term we even might want to move task->mm into the signal_struct anyway. In the next step we might want to make the oom killer exclusion and access to memory reserves completely independent which would be also nice.

2016-10-07mm,oom_reaper: do not attempt to reap a task twiceTetsuo Handa
"mm, oom_reaper: do not attempt to reap a task twice" tried to give the OOM reaper one more chance to retry using MMF_OOM_NOT_REAPABLE flag. But the usefulness of the flag is rather limited and actually never shown in practice. If the flag is set, it means that the holder of mm->mmap_sem cannot call up_write() due to presumably being blocked at unkillable wait waiting for other thread's memory allocation. But since one of threads sharing that mm will queue that mm immediately via task_will_free_mem() shortcut (otherwise, oom_badness() will select the same mm again due to oom_score_adj value unchanged), retrying MMF_OOM_NOT_REAPABLE mm is unlikely helpful. Let's always set MMF_OOM_REAPED.

Patch series "fortify oom killer even more", v2. This patch (of 9): __oom_reap_task() can be simplified a bit if it receives a valid mm from oom_reap_task() which also uses that mm when __oom_reap_task() failed. We can drop one find_lock_task_mm() call and also make the __oom_reap_task() code flow easier to follow. Moreover, this will make later patch in the series easier to review. Pinning mm's mm_count for longer time is not really harmful because this will not pin much memory. This patch doesn't introduce any functional change.

2016-10-07mm: oom: deduplicate victim selection code for memcg and global oomVladimir Davydov
When selecting an oom victim, we use the same heuristic for both memory cgroup and global oom. The only difference is the scope of tasks to select the victim from. So we could just export an iterator over all memcg tasks and keep all oom related logic in oom_kill.c, but instead we duplicate pieces of it in memcontrol.c reusing some initially private functions of oom_kill.c in order to not duplicate all of it. That looks ugly and error prone, because any modification of select_bad_process should also be propagated to mem_cgroup_out_of_memory. Let's rework this as follows: keep all oom heuristic related code private to oom_kill.c and make oom_kill.c use exported memcg functions when it's really necessary (like in case of iterating over memcg tasks).

2016-07-28mm, oom: tighten task_will_free_mem() lockingMichal Hocko
"mm, oom: fortify task_will_free_mem" has dropped task_lock around task_will_free_mem in oom_kill_process bacause it assumed that a potential race when the selected task exits will not be a problem as the oom_reaper will call exit_oom_victim. Tetsuo was objecting that nommu doesn't have oom_reaper so the race would be still possible. The code would be racy and lockup prone theoretically in other aspects without the oom reaper anyway so I didn't considered this a big deal. But it seems that further changes I am planning in this area will benefit from stable task->mm in this path as well. So let's drop find_lock_task_mm from task_will_free_mem and call it from under task_lock as we did previously. Just pull the task->mm != NULL check inside the function.

2016-07-28mm, oom: hide mm which is shared with kthread or global initMichal Hocko
The only case where the oom_reaper is not triggered for the oom victim is when it shares the memory with a kernel thread (aka use_mm) or with the global init. After "mm, oom: skip vforked tasks from being selected" the victim cannot be a vforked task of the global init so we are left with clone(CLONE_VM) (without CLONE_SIGHAND). use_mm() users are quite rare as well. In order to help forward progress for the OOM killer, make sure that this really rare case will not get in the way - we do this by hiding the mm from the oom killer by setting MMF_OOM_REAPED flag for it. oom_scan_process_thread will ignore any TIF_MEMDIE task if it has MMF_OOM_REAPED flag set to catch these oom victims. After this patch we should guarantee forward progress for the OOM killer even when the selected victim is sharing memory with a kernel thread or global init as long as the victims mm is still alive.

2016-07-28mm, oom_reaper: do not attempt to reap a task more than twiceMichal Hocko
oom_reaper relies on the mmap_sem for read to do its job. Many places which might block readers have been converted to use down_write_killable and that has reduced chances of the contention a lot. Some paths where the mmap_sem is held for write can take other locks and they might either be not prepared to fail due to fatal signal pending or too impractical to be changed. This patch introduces MMF_OOM_NOT_REAPABLE flag which gets set after the first attempt to reap a task's mm fails. If the flag is present after the failure then we set MMF_OOM_REAPED to hide this mm from the oom killer completely so it can go and chose another victim. As a result a risk of OOM deadlock when the oom victim would be blocked indefinetly and so the oom killer cannot make any progress should be mitigated considerably while we still try really hard to perform all reclaim attempts and stay predictable in the behavior.

2016-07-28mm, oom: fortify task_will_free_mem()Michal Hocko
task_will_free_mem is rather weak. It doesn't really tell whether the task has chance to drop its mm. 98748bd72200 ("oom: consider multi-threaded tasks in task_will_free_mem") made a first step into making it more robust for multi-threaded applications so now we know that the whole process is going down and probably drop the mm. This patch builds on top for more complex scenarios where mm is shared between different processes - CLONE_VM without CLONE_SIGHAND, or in kernel use_mm(). Make sure that all processes sharing the mm are killed or exiting. This will allow us to replace try_oom_reaper by wake_oom_reaper because task_will_free_mem implies the task is reapable now. Therefore all paths which bypass the oom killer are now reapable and so they shouldn't lock up the oom killer.

2016-07-28mm, oom: kill all tasks sharing the mmMichal Hocko
Currently oom_kill_process skips both the oom reaper and SIG_KILL if a process sharing the same mm is unkillable via OOM_ADJUST_MIN. After "mm, oom_adj: make sure processes sharing mm have same view of oom_score_adj" all such processes are sharing the same value so we shouldn't see such a task at all (oom_badness would rule them out). We can still encounter oom disabled vforked task which has to be killed as well if we want to have other tasks sharing the mm reapable because it can access the memory before doing exec. Killing such a task should be acceptable because it is highly unlikely it has done anything useful because it cannot modify any memory before it calls exec. An alternative would be to keep the task alive and skip the oom reaper and risk all the weird corner cases where the OOM killer cannot make forward progress because the oom victim hung somewhere on the way to exit.

2016-07-28mm, oom: skip vforked tasks from being selectedMichal Hocko
vforked tasks are not really sitting on any memory. They are sharing the mm with parent until they exec into a new code. Until then it is just pinning the address space. OOM killer will kill the vforked task along with its parent but we still can end up selecting vforked task when the parent wouldn't be selected. E.g. init doing vfork to launch a task or vforked being a child of oom unkillable task with an updated oom_score_adj to be killable. Add a new helper to check whether a task is in the vfork sharing memory with its parent and use it in oom_badness to skip over these tasks.

2016-07-28mm, oom_adj: make sure processes sharing mm have same view of oom_score_adjMichal Hocko
oom_score_adj is shared for the thread groups (via struct signal) but this is not sufficient to cover processes sharing mm (CLONE_VM without CLONE_SIGHAND) and so we can easily end up in a situation when some processes update their oom_score_adj and confuse the oom killer. In the worst case some of those processes might hide from the oom killer altogether via OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN while others are eligible. OOM killer would then pick up those eligible but won't be allowed to kill others sharing the same mm so the mm wouldn't release the mm and so the memory. It would be ideal to have the oom_score_adj per mm_struct because that is the natural entity OOM killer considers. But this will not work because some programs are doing vfork() set_oom_adj() exec() We can achieve the same though. oom_score_adj write handler can set the oom_score_adj for all processes sharing the same mm if the task is not in the middle of vfork. As a result all the processes will share the same oom_score_adj. The current implementation is rather pessimistic and checks all the existing processes by default if there is more than 1 holder of the mm but we do not have any reliable way to check for external users yet.
