alios: mm, memcg: fix possible soft lockup in try_charge · 1f6142a0

由 Xu Yu 提交于 11月 26, 2019

When events such as direct reclaim and oom occur intensively, soft
lockup is very likely to happen in the instances with 1 vcpu and with
kernel preempt disabled.

The example soft lockup is as follows.

mm, memcg: throttle allocators when failing reclaim over memory.high · eda29cc0

由 Chris Down 提交于 9月 23, 2019

commit 0e4b01df865935007bd712cbc8e7299005b28894 upstream.

We're trying to use memory.high to limit workloads, but have found that
containment can frequently fail completely and cause OOM situations
outside of the cgroup.  This happens especially with swap space -- either
when none is configured, or swap is full.  These failures often also don't
have enough warning to allow one to react, whether for a human or for a
daemon monitoring PSI.

Here is output from a simple program showing how long it takes in usec
(column 2) to allocate a megabyte of anonymous memory (column 1) when a
cgroup is already beyond its memory high setting, and no swap is
available:

    [root@ktst ~]# systemd-run -p MemoryHigh=100M -p MemorySwapMax=1 \
    > --wait -t timeout 300 /root/mdf

    [System OOM in 2-3 seconds]

The delay does go up extremely marginally past the 100MB memory.high
threshold, as now we spend time scanning before returning to usermode, but
it's nowhere near enough to contain growth.  It also doesn't get worse the
more pages you have, since it only considers nr_pages.

The current situation goes against both the expectations of users of
memory.high, and our intentions as cgroup v2 developers.  In
cgroup-v2.txt, we claim that we will throttle and only under "extreme
conditions" will memory.high protection be breached.  Likewise, cgroup v2
users generally also expect that memory.high should throttle workloads as
they exceed their high threshold.  However, as seen above, this isn't
always how it works in practice -- even on banal setups like those with no
swap, or where swap has become exhausted, we can end up with memory.high
being breached and us having no weapons left in our arsenal to combat
runaway growth with, since reclaim is futile.

It's also hard for system monitoring software or users to tell how bad the
situation is, as "high" events for the memcg may in some cases be benign,
and in others be catastrophic.  The current status quo is that we fail
containment in a way that doesn't provide any advance warning that things
are about to go horribly wrong (for example, we are about to invoke the
kernel OOM killer).

This patch introduces explicit throttling when reclaim is failing to keep
memcg size contained at the memory.high setting.  It does so by applying
an exponential delay curve derived from the memcg's overage compared to
memory.high.  In the normal case where the memcg is either below or only
marginally over its memory.high setting, no throttling will be performed.

This composes well with system health monitoring and remediation, as these
allocator delays are factored into PSI's memory pressure calculations.
This both creates a mechanism system administrators or applications
consuming the PSI interface to trivially see that the memcg in question is
struggling and use that to make more reasonable decisions, and permits
them enough time to act.  Either of these can act with significantly more
nuance than that we can provide using the system OOM killer.

This is a similar idea to memory.oom_control in cgroup v1 which would put
the cgroup to sleep if the threshold was violated, but it's also
significantly improved as it results in visible memory pressure, and also
doesn't schedule indefinitely, which previously made tracing and other
introspection difficult (ie.  it's clamped at 2*HZ per allocation through
MEMCG_MAX_HIGH_DELAY_JIFFIES).

Contrast the previous results with a kernel with this patch:

    [root@ktst ~]# systemd-run -p MemoryHigh=100M -p MemorySwapMax=1 \
    > --wait -t timeout 300 /root/mdf

    [...]

As you can see, in the normal case, memory allocation takes around 1000
usec.  However, as we exceed our memory.high, things start to increase
exponentially, but fairly leniently at first.  Our first megabyte over
memory.high takes us 0.16 seconds, then the next is 0.46 seconds, then the
next is almost an entire second.  This gets worse until we reach our
eventual 2*HZ clamp per batch, resulting in 16 seconds per megabyte.
However, this is still making forward progress, so permits tracing or
further analysis with programs like GDB.

We use an exponential curve for our delay penalty for a few reasons:

1. We run mem_cgroup_handle_over_high to potentially do reclaim after
   we've already performed allocations, which means that temporarily
   going over memory.high by a small amount may be perfectly legitimate,
   even for compliant workloads. We don't want to unduly penalise such
   cases.
2. An exponential curve (as opposed to a static or linear delay) allows
   ramping up memory pressure stats more gradually, which can be useful
   to work out that you have set memory.high too low, without destroying
   application performance entirely.

This patch expands on earlier work by Johannes Weiner. Thanks!

Tetsuo then noticed that this is because the __memcg_kmem_charge_memcg
fails __GFP_NOFAIL charge when the kmem limit is reached.  This is a wrong
behavior because nofail allocations are not allowed to fail.  Normal
charge path simply forces the charge even if that means to cross the
limit.  Kmem accounting should be doing the same.

mm/memcontrol.c: fix use after free in mem_cgroup_iter() · c8282f1b

由 Miles Chen 提交于 8月 13, 2019

commit 54a83d6bcbf8f4700013766b974bf9190d40b689 upstream.

This patch is sent to report an use after free in mem_cgroup_iter()
after merging commit be2657752e9e ("mm: memcg: fix use after free in
mem_cgroup_iter()").

I work with android kernel tree (4.9 & 4.14), and commit be2657752e9e
("mm: memcg: fix use after free in mem_cgroup_iter()") has been merged
to the trees.  However, I can still observe use after free issues
addressed in the commit be2657752e9e.  (on low-end devices, a few times
this month)

backtrace:

To debug, I poisoned mem_cgroup before freeing it:

  static void __mem_cgroup_free(struct mem_cgroup *memcg)
        for_each_node(node)
        free_mem_cgroup_per_node_info(memcg, node);
        free_percpu(memcg->stat);
  +     /* poison memcg before freeing it */
  +     memset(memcg, 0x78, sizeof(struct mem_cgroup));
        kfree(memcg);
  }

The coredump shows the position=0xdbbc2a00 is freed.

In the reclaim path, try_to_free_pages() does not setup
sc.target_mem_cgroup and sc is passed to do_try_to_free_pages(), ...,
shrink_node().

In mem_cgroup_iter(), root is set to root_mem_cgroup because
sc->target_mem_cgroup is NULL.  It is possible to assign a memcg to
root_mem_cgroup.nodeinfo.iter in mem_cgroup_iter().

        try_to_free_pages
        	struct scan_control sc = {...}, target_mem_cgroup is 0x0;
        do_try_to_free_pages
        shrink_zones
        shrink_node
        	 mem_cgroup *root = sc->target_mem_cgroup;
        	 memcg = mem_cgroup_iter(root, NULL, &reclaim);
        mem_cgroup_iter()
        	if (!root)
        		root = root_mem_cgroup;
        	...

        	css = css_next_descendant_pre(css, &root->css);
        	memcg = mem_cgroup_from_css(css);
        	cmpxchg(&iter->position, pos, memcg);

My device uses memcg non-hierarchical mode.  When we release a memcg:
invalidate_reclaim_iterators() reaches only dead_memcg and its parents.
If non-hierarchical mode is used, invalidate_reclaim_iterators() never
reaches root_mem_cgroup.

  static void invalidate_reclaim_iterators(struct mem_cgroup *dead_memcg)
  {
        struct mem_cgroup *memcg = dead_memcg;

        for (; memcg; memcg = parent_mem_cgroup(memcg)
        ...
  }

So the use after free scenario looks like:

  CPU1						CPU2

  try_to_free_pages
  do_try_to_free_pages
  shrink_zones
  shrink_node
  mem_cgroup_iter()
      if (!root)
      	root = root_mem_cgroup;
      ...
      css = css_next_descendant_pre(css, &root->css);
      memcg = mem_cgroup_from_css(css);
      cmpxchg(&iter->position, pos, memcg);

        				invalidate_reclaim_iterators(memcg);
        				...
        				__mem_cgroup_free()
        					kfree(memcg);

  try_to_free_pages
  do_try_to_free_pages
  shrink_zones
  shrink_node
  mem_cgroup_iter()
      if (!root)
      	root = root_mem_cgroup;
      ...
      mz = mem_cgroup_nodeinfo(root, reclaim->pgdat->node_id);
      iter = &mz->iter[reclaim->priority];
      pos = READ_ONCE(iter->position);
      css_tryget(&pos->css) <- use after free

To avoid this, we should also invalidate root_mem_cgroup.nodeinfo.iter
in invalidate_reclaim_iterators().

mm: writeback: use exact memcg dirty counts · 43f47331

由 Greg Thelen 提交于 4月 05, 2019

commit 0b3d6e6f2dd0a7b697b1aa8c167265908940624b upstream.

Since commit a983b5eb ("mm: memcontrol: fix excessive complexity in
memory.stat reporting") memcg dirty and writeback counters are managed
as:

 1) per-memcg per-cpu values in range of [-32..32]

 2) per-memcg atomic counter

When a per-cpu counter cannot fit in [-32..32] it's flushed to the
atomic.  Stat readers only check the atomic.  Thus readers such as
balance_dirty_pages() may see a nontrivial error margin: 32 pages per
cpu.

Assuming 100 cpus:
   4k x86 page_size:  13 MiB error per memcg
  64k ppc page_size: 200 MiB error per memcg

Considering that dirty+writeback are used together for some decisions the
errors double.

This inaccuracy can lead to undeserved oom kills.  One nasty case is
when all per-cpu counters hold positive values offsetting an atomic
negative value (i.e.  per_cpu[*]=32, atomic=n_cpu*-32).
balance_dirty_pages() only consults the atomic and does not consider
throttling the next n_cpu*32 dirty pages.  If the file_lru is in the
13..200 MiB range then there's absolutely no dirty throttling, which
burdens vmscan with only dirty+writeback pages thus resorting to oom
kill.

It could be argued that tiny containers are not supported, but it's more
subtle.  It's the amount the space available for file lru that matters.
If a container has memory.max-200MiB of non reclaimable memory, then it
will also suffer such oom kills on a 100 cpu machine.

The following test reliably ooms without this patch.  This patch avoids
oom kills.

  $ cat test
  mount -t cgroup2 none /dev/cgroup
  cd /dev/cgroup
  echo +io +memory > cgroup.subtree_control
  mkdir test
  cd test
  echo 10M > memory.max
  (echo $BASHPID > cgroup.procs && exec /memcg-writeback-stress /foo)
  (echo $BASHPID > cgroup.procs && exec dd if=/dev/zero of=/foo bs=2M count=100)

  $ cat memcg-writeback-stress.c
  /*
   * Dirty pages from all but one cpu.
   * Clean pages from the non dirtying cpu.
   * This is to stress per cpu counter imbalance.
   * On a 100 cpu machine:
   * - per memcg per cpu dirty count is 32 pages for each of 99 cpus
   * - per memcg atomic is -99*32 pages
   * - thus the complete dirty limit: sum of all counters 0
   * - balance_dirty_pages() only sees atomic count -99*32 pages, which
   *   it max()s to 0.
   * - So a workload can dirty -99*32 pages before balance_dirty_pages()
   *   cares.

  		err(1, "fsync(%s)", output);
  	if (close(output_fd))
  		err(1, "close(%s)", output);
  	free(buf);
  }

Make balance_dirty_pages() and wb_over_bg_thresh() work harder to
collect exact per memcg counters.  This avoids the aforementioned oom
kills.

This does not affect the overhead of memory.stat, which still reads the
single atomic counter.

Why not use percpu_counter? memcg already handles cpus going offline, so
no need for that overhead from percpu_counter.  And the percpu_counter
spinlocks are more heavyweight than is required.

It probably also makes sense to use exact dirty and writeback counters
in memcg oom reports.  But that is saved for later.

memcg: killed threads should not invoke memcg OOM killer · 9d785b92

由 Tetsuo Handa 提交于 3月 05, 2019

[ Upstream commit 7775face207922ea62a4e96b9cd45abfdc7b9840 ]

If a memory cgroup contains a single process with many threads
(including different process group sharing the mm) then it is possible
to trigger a race when the oom killer complains that there are no oom
elible tasks and complain into the log which is both annoying and
confusing because there is no actual problem.  The race looks as
follows:

P1				oom_reaper		P2
try_charge						try_charge
  mem_cgroup_out_of_memory
    mutex_lock(oom_lock)
      out_of_memory
        oom_kill_process(P1,P2)
         wake_oom_reaper
    mutex_unlock(oom_lock)
    				oom_reap_task
							  mutex_lock(oom_lock)
							    select_bad_process # no victim

The problem is more visible with many threads.

Fix this by checking for fatal_signal_pending from
mem_cgroup_out_of_memory when the oom_lock is already held.

The oom bypass is safe because we do the same early in the try_charge
path already.  The situation migh have changed in the mean time.  It
should be safe to check for fatal_signal_pending and tsk_is_oom_victim
but for a better code readability abstract the current charge bypass
condition into should_force_charge and reuse it from that path.  "

memcg, oom: notify on oom killer invocation from the charge path · 1c5e0be3

由 Michal Hocko 提交于 12月 28, 2018

commit 7056d3a37d2c6aaaab10c13e8e69adc67ec1fc65 upstream.

Burt Holzman has noticed that memcg v1 doesn't notify about OOM events via
eventfd anymore.  The reason is that 29ef680a ("memcg, oom: move
out_of_memory back to the charge path") has moved the oom handling back to
the charge path.  While doing so the notification was left behind in
mem_cgroup_oom_synchronize.

Fix the issue by replicating the oom hierarchy locking and the
notification.

mm: memcontrol: print proper OOM header when no eligible victim left · 3100dab2

由 Johannes Weiner 提交于 9月 04, 2018

When the memcg OOM killer runs out of killable tasks, it currently
prints a WARN with no further OOM context. This has caused some user
confusion.

Warnings indicate a kernel problem. In a reported case, however, the
situation was triggered by a nonsensical memcg configuration (hard limit
set to 0). But without any VM context this wasn't obvious from the
report, and it took some back and forth on the mailing list to identify
what is actually a trivial issue.

Handle this OOM condition like we handle it in the global OOM killer:
dump the full OOM context and tell the user we ran out of tasks.

This way the user can identify misconfigurations easily by themselves
and rectify the problem - without having to go through the hassle of
running into an obscure but unsettling warning, finding the appropriate
kernel mailing list and waiting for a kernel developer to remote-analyze
that the memcg configuration caused this.

If users cannot make sense of why the OOM killer was triggered or why it
failed, they will still report it to the mailing list, we know that from
experience. So in case there is an actual kernel bug causing this,
kernel developers will very likely hear about it.

mm, oom: introduce memory.oom.group · 3d8b38eb

由 Roman Gushchin 提交于 8月 21, 2018

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.

memcg: reduce memcg tree traversals for stats collection · 8de7ecc6

由 Shakeel Butt 提交于 8月 21, 2018

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 results are:

Without the patch:
$ time ./read-root-stat-1000-times

real    0m1.663s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m1.660s

With the patch:
$ time ./read-root-stat-1000-times

real    0m0.468s
user    0m0.000s
