* mm, oom: fix race when specifying a thread as the oom originDavid Rientjes2012-12-111-2/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | test_set_oom_score_adj() and compare_swap_oom_score_adj() are used to specify that current should be killed first if an oom condition occurs in between the two calls. The usage is short oom_score_adj = test_set_oom_score_adj(OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX); ... compare_swap_oom_score_adj(OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX, oom_score_adj); to store the thread's oom_score_adj, temporarily change it to the maximum score possible, and then restore the old value if it is still the same. This happens to still be racy, however, if the user writes OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX to /proc/pid/oom_score_adj in between the two calls. The compare_swap_oom_score_adj() will then incorrectly reset the old value prior to the write of OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX. To fix this, introduce a new oom_flags_t member in struct signal_struct that will be used for per-thread oom killer flags. KSM and swapoff can now use a bit in this member to specify that threads should be killed first in oom conditions without playing around with oom_score_adj. This also allows the correct oom_score_adj to always be shown when reading /proc/pid/oom_score.

* mm, oom: change type of oom_score_adj to shortDavid Rientjes2012-12-111-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The maximum oom_score_adj is 1000 and the minimum oom_score_adj is -1000, so this range can be represented by the signed short type with no functional change. The extra space this frees up in struct signal_struct will be used for per-thread oom kill flags in the next patch.

* mm, memcg: introduce own oom handler to iterate only over its own threadsDavid Rientjes2012-07-311-0/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The global oom killer is serialized by the per-zonelist try_set_zonelist_oom() which is used in the page allocator. Concurrent oom kills are thus a rare event and only occur in systems using mempolicies and with a large number of nodes. Memory controller oom kills, however, can frequently be concurrent since there is no serialization once the oom killer is called for oom conditions in several different memcgs in parallel. This creates a massive contention on tasklist_lock since the oom killer requires the readside for the tasklist iteration. If several memcgs are calling the oom killer, this lock can be held for a substantial amount of time, especially if threads continue to enter it as other threads are exiting. Since the exit path grabs the writeside of the lock with irqs disabled in a few different places, this can cause a soft lockup on cpus as a result of tasklist_lock starvation. The kernel lacks unfair writelocks, and successful calls to the oom killer usually result in at least one thread entering the exit path, so an alternative solution is needed. This patch introduces a seperate oom handler for memcgs so that they do not require tasklist_lock for as much time. Instead, it iterates only over the threads attached to the oom memcg and grabs a reference to the selected thread before calling oom_kill_process() to ensure it doesn't prematurely exit. This still requires tasklist_lock for the tasklist dump, iterating children of the selected process, and killing all other threads on the system sharing the same memory as the selected victim. So while this isn't a complete solution to tasklist_lock starvation, it significantly reduces the amount of time that it is held.

* mm, oom: normalize oom scores to oom_score_adj scale only for userspaceDavid Rientjes2012-05-291-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The oom_score_adj scale ranges from -1000 to 1000 and represents the proportion of memory available to the process at allocation time. This means an oom_score_adj value of 300, for example, will bias a process as though it was using an extra 30.0% of available memory and a value of -350 will discount 35.0% of available memory from its usage. The oom killer badness heuristic also uses this scale to report the oom score for each eligible process in determining the "best" process to kill. Thus, it can only differentiate each process's memory usage by 0.1% of system RAM. On large systems, this can end up being a large amount of memory: 256MB on 256GB systems, for example. This can be fixed by having the badness heuristic to use the actual memory usage in scoring threads and then normalizing it to the oom_score_adj scale for userspace. This results in better comparison between eligible threads for kill and no change from the userspace perspective.

* mm, oom: force oom kill on sysrq+fDavid Rientjes2012-03-211-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The oom killer chooses not to kill a thread if: - an eligible thread has already been oom killed and has yet to exit, and - an eligible thread is exiting but has yet to free all its memory and is not the thread attempting to currently allocate memory. SysRq+F manually invokes the global oom killer to kill a memory-hogging task. This is normally done as a last resort to free memory when no progress is being made or to test the oom killer itself. For both uses, we always want to kill a thread and never defer. This patch causes SysRq+F to always kill an eligible thread and can be used to force a kill even if another oom killed thread has failed to exit.

* oom: fix race while temporarily setting current's oom_score_adjDavid Rientjes2011-10-311-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | test_set_oom_score_adj() was introduced in 72788c385604 ("oom: replace PF_OOM_ORIGIN with toggling oom_score_adj") to temporarily elevate current's oom_score_adj for ksm and swapoff without requiring an additional per-process flag. Using that function to both set oom_score_adj to OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX and then reinstate the previous value is racy since it's possible that userspace can set the value to something else itself before the old value is reinstated. That results in userspace setting current's oom_score_adj to a different value and then the kernel immediately setting it back to its previous value without notification. To fix this, a new compare_swap_oom_score_adj() function is introduced with the same semantics as the compare and swap CAS instruction, or CMPXCHG on x86. It is used to reinstate the previous value of oom_score_adj if and only if the present value is the same as the old value.

* oom: replace PF_OOM_ORIGIN with toggling oom_score_adjDavid Rientjes2011-05-251-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's a kernel-wide shortage of per-process flags, so it's always helpful to trim one when possible without incurring a significant penalty. It's even more important when you're planning on adding a per- process flag yourself, which I plan to do shortly for transparent hugepages. PF_OOM_ORIGIN is used by ksm and swapoff to prefer current since it has a tendency to allocate large amounts of memory and should be preferred for killing over other tasks. We'd rather immediately kill the task making the errant syscall rather than penalizing an innocent task. This patch removes PF_OOM_ORIGIN since its behavior is equivalent to setting the process's oom_score_adj to OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX. The process's old oom_score_adj is stored and then set to OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX during the time it used to have PF_OOM_ORIGIN. The old value is then reinstated when the process should no longer be considered a high priority for oom killing.

* oom: badness heuristic rewriteDavid Rientjes2010-08-091-1/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This a complete rewrite of the oom killer's badness() heuristic which is used to determine which task to kill in oom conditions. The goal is to make it as simple and predictable as possible so the results are better understood and we end up killing the task which will lead to the most memory freeing while still respecting the fine-tuning from userspace. Instead of basing the heuristic on mm->total_vm for each task, the task's rss and swap space is used instead. This is a better indication of the amount of memory that will be freeable if the oom killed task is chosen and subsequently exits. This helps specifically in cases where KDE or GNOME is chosen for oom kill on desktop systems instead of a memory hogging task. The baseline for the heuristic is a proportion of memory that each task is currently using in memory plus swap compared to the amount of "allowable" memory. "Allowable," in this sense, means the system-wide resources for unconstrained oom conditions, the set of mempolicy nodes, the mems attached to current's cpuset, or a memory controller's limit. The proportion is given on a scale of 0 (never kill) to 1000 (always kill), roughly meaning that if a task has a badness() score of 500 that the task consumes approximately 50% of allowable memory resident in RAM or in swap space. The proportion is always relative to the amount of "allowable" memory and not the total amount of RAM systemwide so that mempolicies and cpusets may operate in isolation; they shall not need to know the true size of the machine on which they are running if they are bound to a specific set of nodes or mems, respectively. Root tasks are given 3% extra memory just like __vm_enough_memory() provides in LSMs. In the event of two tasks consuming similar amounts of memory, it is generally better to save root's task. Because of the change in the badness() heuristic's baseline, it is also necessary to introduce a new user interface to tune it. It's not possible to redefine the meaning of /proc/pid/oom_adj with a new scale since the ABI cannot be changed for backward compatability. Instead, a new tunable, /proc/pid/oom_score_adj, is added that ranges from -1000 to +1000. It may be used to polarize the heuristic such that certain tasks are never considered for oom kill while others may always be considered. The value is added directly into the badness() score so a value of -500, for example, means to discount 50% of its memory consumption in comparison to other tasks either on the system, bound to the mempolicy, in the cpuset, or sharing the same memory controller. /proc/pid/oom_adj is changed so that its meaning is rescaled into the units used by /proc/pid/oom_score_adj, and vice versa. Changing one of these per-task tunables will rescale the value of the other to an equivalent meaning. Although /proc/pid/oom_adj was originally defined as a bitshift on the badness score, it now shares the same linear growth as /proc/pid/oom_score_adj but with different granularity. This is required so the ABI is not broken with userspace applications and allows oom_adj to be deprecated for future removal.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix node-oriented allocation handling in oom-kill.c I myself think of this as a bugfix not as an ehnancement. In these days, things are changed as - alloc_pages() eats nodemask as its arguments, __alloc_pages_nodemask(). - mempolicy don't maintain its own private zonelists. (And cpuset doesn't use nodemask for __alloc_pages_nodemask()) So, current oom-killer's check function is wrong. This patch does - check nodemask, if nodemask && nodemask doesn't cover all node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY], this is CONSTRAINT_MEMORY_POLICY. - Scan all zonelist under nodemask, if it hits cpuset's wall this faiulre is from cpuset. And - modifies the caller of out_of_memory not to call oom if __GFP_THISNODE. This doesn't change "current" behavior. If callers use __GFP_THISNODE it should handle "page allocation failure" by itself. - handle __GFP_NOFAIL+__GFP_THISNODE path. This is something like a FIXME but this gfpmask is not used now.

* mm: have zonelist contains structs with both a zone pointer and zone_idxMel Gorman2008-04-281-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Filtering zonelists requires very frequent use of zone_idx(). This is costly as it involves a lookup of another structure and a substraction operation. As the zone_idx is often required, it should be quickly accessible. The node idx could also be stored here if it was found that accessing zone->node is significant which may be the case on workloads where nodemasks are heavily used. This patch introduces a struct zoneref to store a zone pointer and a zone index. The zonelist then consists of an array of these struct zonerefs which are looked up as necessary. Helpers are given for accessing the zone index as well as the node index.

* oom: add per-zone lockingDavid Rientjes2007-10-171-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | OOM killer synchronization should be done with zone granularity so that memory policy and cpuset allocations may have their corresponding zones locked and allow parallel kills for other OOM conditions that may exist elsewhere in the system. DMA allocations can be targeted at the zone level, which would not be possible if locking was done in nodes or globally. Synchronization shall be done with a variation of "trylocks." The goal is to put the current task to sleep and restart the failed allocation attempt later if the trylock fails. Otherwise, the OOM killer is invoked. Each zone in the zonelist that __alloc_pages() was called with is checked for the newly-introduced ZONE_OOM_LOCKED flag. If any zone has this flag present, the "trylock" to serialize the OOM killer fails and returns zero. Otherwise, all the zones have ZONE_OOM_LOCKED set and the try_set_zone_oom() function returns non-zero.

* [PATCH] OOM killer meets userspace headersAlexey Dobriyan2006-10-201-0/+10
Despite mm.h is not being exported header, it does contain one thing which is part of userspace ABI -- value disabling OOM killer for given process. So, a) create and export include/linux/oom.h b) move OOM_DISABLE define there. c) turn bounding values of /proc/$PID/oom_adj into defines and export them too. Note: mass __KERNEL__ removal will be done later.
