This patch prevents unnecessary oom kills or kernel panics by reverting
two commits:

	495789a5 (oom: make oom_score to per-process value)
	cef1d352 (oom: multi threaded process coredump don't make deadlock)

First, 495789a5 (oom: make oom_score to per-process value) ignores the
fact that all threads in a thread group do not necessarily exit at the
same time.

It is imperative that select_bad_process() detect threads that are in the
exit path, specifically those with PF_EXITING set, to prevent needlessly
killing additional tasks.  If a process is oom killed and the thread group
leader exits, select_bad_process() cannot detect the other threads that
are PF_EXITING by iterating over only processes.  Thus, it currently
chooses another task unnecessarily for oom kill or panics the machine when
nothing else is eligible.

By iterating over threads instead, it is possible to detect threads that
are exiting and nominate them for oom kill so they get access to memory
reserves.

Second, cef1d352 (oom: multi threaded process coredump don't make
deadlock) erroneously avoids making the oom killer a no-op when an
eligible thread other than current isfound to be exiting.  We want to
detect this situation so that we may allow that exiting thread time to
exit and free its memory; if it is able to exit on its own, that should
free memory so current is no loner oom.  If it is not able to exit on its
own, the oom killer will nominate it for oom kill which, in this case,
only means it will get access to memory reserves.

Without this change, it is easy for the oom killer to unnecessarily target
tasks when all threads of a victim don't exit before the thread group
leader or, in the worst case, panic the machine.

oom_kill_process() starts with victim_points == 0.  This means that
(most likely) any child has more points and can be killed erroneously.

Also, "children has a different mm" doesn't match the reality, we should
check child->mm != t->mm.  This check is not exactly correct if t->mm ==
NULL but this doesn't really matter, oom_kill_task() will kill them
anyway.

Note: "Kill all processes sharing p->mm" in oom_kill_task() is wrong
too.

It's necessary to kill all threads that share an oom killed task's mm if
the goal is to lead to future memory freeing.

This patch reintroduces the code removed in 8c5cd6f3 (oom: oom_kill
doesn't kill vfork parent (or child)) since it is obsoleted.

It's now guaranteed that any task passed to oom_kill_task() does not share
an mm with any thread that is unkillable.  Thus, we're safe to issue a
SIGKILL to any thread sharing the same mm.

This is especially necessary to solve an mm->mmap_sem livelock issue
whereas an oom killed thread must acquire the lock in the exit path while
another thread is holding it in the page allocator while trying to
allocate memory itself (and will preempt the oom killer since a task was
already killed).  Since tasks with pending fatal signals are now granted
access to memory reserves, the thread holding the lock may quickly
allocate and release the lock so that the oom killed task may exit.

This mainly is for threads that are cloned with CLONE_VM but not
CLONE_THREAD, so they are in a different thread group.  Non-NPTL threads
exist in the wild and this change is necessary to prevent the livelock in
such cases.  We care more about preventing the livelock than incurring the
additional tasklist in the oom killer when a task has been killed.
Systems that are sufficiently large to not want the tasklist scan in the
oom killer in the first place already have the option of enabling
/proc/sys/vm/oom_kill_allocating_task, which was designed specifically for
that purpose.

This code had existed in the oom killer for over eight years dating back
to the 2.4 kernel.

The oom killer's goal is to kill a memory-hogging task so that it may
exit, free its memory, and allow the current context to allocate the
memory that triggered it in the first place.  Thus, killing a task is
pointless if other threads sharing its mm cannot be killed because of its
/proc/pid/oom_adj or /proc/pid/oom_score_adj value.

This patch checks whether any other thread sharing p->mm has an
oom_score_adj of OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN.  If so, the thread cannot be killed
and oom_badness(p) returns 0, meaning it's unkillable.

/proc/sys/vm/oom_dump_tasks is enabled by default, so it's necessary to
limit as much information as possible that it should emit.

The tasklist dump should be filtered to only those tasks that are eligible
for oom kill.  This is already done for memcg ooms, but this patch extends
it to both cpuset and mempolicy ooms as well as init.

In addition to suppressing irrelevant information, this also reduces
confusion since users currently don't know which tasks in the tasklist
aren't eligible for kill (such as those attached to cpusets or bound to
mempolicies with a disjoint set of mems or nodes, respectively) since that
information is not shown.

A task's badness score is roughly a proportion of its rss and swap
compared to the system's capacity.  The scale ranges from 0 to 1000 with
the highest score chosen for kill.  Thus, this scale operates on a
resolution of 0.1% of RAM + swap.  Admin tasks are also given a 3% bonus,
so the badness score of an admin task using 3% of memory, for example,
would still be 0.

It's possible that an exceptionally large number of tasks will combine to
exhaust all resources but never have a single task that uses more than
0.1% of RAM and swap (or 3.0% for admin tasks).

This patch ensures that the badness score of any eligible task is never 0
so the machine doesn't unnecessarily panic because it cannot find a task
to kill.

dump_tasks() needs to hold the RCU read lock around its access of the
target task's UID.  To this end it should use task_uid() as it only needs
that one thing from the creds.

The fact that dump_tasks() holds tasklist_lock is insufficient to prevent the
target process replacing its credentials on another CPU.

Then, this patch change to call rcu_read_lock() explicitly.

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.

Oleg pointed out current PF_EXITING check is wrong. Because PF_EXITING
is per-thread flag, not per-process flag. He said,

   Two threads, group-leader L and its sub-thread T. T dumps the code.
   In this case both threads have ->mm != NULL, L has PF_EXITING.

   The first problem is, select_bad_process() always return -1 in this
   case (even if the caller is T, this doesn't matter).

   The second problem is that we should add TIF_MEMDIE to T, not L.

In a system under heavy load it was observed that even after the
oom-killer selects a task to die, the task may take a long time to die.

Right after sending a SIGKILL to the task selected by the oom-killer this
task has its priority increased so that it can exit() soon, freeing
memory.  That is accomplished by:

        /*
         * We give our sacrificial lamb high priority and access to
         * all the memory it needs. That way it should be able to
         * exit() and clear out its resources quickly...
         */
 	p->rt.time_slice = HZ;
 	set_tsk_thread_flag(p, TIF_MEMDIE);

It sounds plausible giving the dying task an even higher priority to be
sure it will be scheduled sooner and free the desired memory.  It was
suggested on LKML using SCHED_FIFO:1, the lowest RT priority so that this
task won't interfere with any running RT task.

If the dying task is already an RT task, leave it untouched.  Another good
suggestion, implemented here, was to avoid boosting the dying task
priority in case of mem_cgroup OOM.

Remove the redundancy in __oom_kill_task() since:

 - init can never be passed to this function: it will never be PF_EXITING
   or selectable from select_bad_process(), and

 - it will never be passed a task from oom_kill_task() without an ->mm
   and we're unconcerned about detachment from exiting tasks, there's no
   reason to protect them against SIGKILL or access to memory reserves.

Also moves the kernel log message to a higher level since the verbosity is
not always emitted here; we need not print an error message if an exiting
task is given a longer timeslice.

__oom_kill_task() only has a single caller, so it can be merged into that
function at the same time.

It is possible to remove the special pagefault oom handler by simply oom
locking all system zones and then calling directly into out_of_memory().

All populated zones must have ZONE_OOM_LOCKED set, otherwise there is a
parallel oom killing in progress that will lead to eventual memory freeing
so it's not necessary to needlessly kill another task.  The context in
which the pagefault is allocating memory is unknown to the oom killer, so
this is done on a system-wide level.

If a task has already been oom killed and hasn't fully exited yet, this
will be a no-op since select_bad_process() recognizes tasks across the
system with TIF_MEMDIE set.

There are various points in the oom killer where the kernel must determine
whether to panic or not.  It's better to extract this to a helper function
to remove all the confusion as to its semantics.

Also fix a call to dump_header() where tasklist_lock is not read- locked,
as required.

There's no functional change with this patch.

The oom killer tasklist dump, enabled with the oom_dump_tasks sysctl, is
very helpful information in diagnosing why a user's task has been killed.
It emits useful information such as each eligible thread's memory usage
that can determine why the system is oom, so it should be enabled by
default.

The oom killer presently kills current whenever there is no more memory
free or reclaimable on its mempolicy's nodes.  There is no guarantee that
current is a memory-hogging task or that killing it will free any
substantial amount of memory, however.

In such situations, it is better to scan the tasklist for nodes that are
allowed to allocate on current's set of nodes and kill the task with the
highest badness() score.  This ensures that the most memory-hogging task,
or the one configured by the user with /proc/pid/oom_adj, is always
selected in such scenarios.

When a task is chosen for oom kill, the oom killer first attempts to
sacrifice a child not sharing its parent's memory instead.  Unfortunately,
this often kills in a seemingly random fashion based on the ordering of
the selected task's child list.  Additionally, it is not guaranteed at all
to free a large amount of memory that we need to prevent additional oom
killing in the very near future.

Instead, we now only attempt to sacrifice the worst child not sharing its
parent's memory, if one exists.  The worst child is indicated with the
highest badness() score.  This serves two advantages: we kill a
memory-hogging task more often, and we allow the configurable
/proc/pid/oom_adj value to be considered as a factor in which child to
kill.

Reviewers may observe that the previous implementation would iterate
through the children and attempt to kill each until one was successful and
then the parent if none were found while the new code simply kills the
most memory-hogging task or the parent.  Note that the only time
oom_kill_task() fails, however, is when a child does not have an mm or has
a /proc/pid/oom_adj of OOM_DISABLE.  badness() returns 0 for both cases,
so the final oom_kill_task() will always succeed.

Tasks that do not share the same set of allowed nodes with the task that
triggered the oom should not be considered as candidates for oom kill.

Tasks in other cpusets with a disjoint set of mems would be unfairly
penalized otherwise because of oom conditions elsewhere; an extreme
example could unfairly kill all other applications on the system if a
single task in a user's cpuset sets itself to OOM_DISABLE and then uses
more memory than allowed.

Killing tasks outside of current's cpuset rarely would free memory for
current anyway.  To use a sane heuristic, we must ensure that killing a
task would likely free memory for current and avoid needlessly killing
others at all costs just because their potential memory freeing is
unknown.  It is better to kill current than another task needlessly.

It's unnecessary to SIGKILL a task that is already PF_EXITING and can
actually cause a NULL pointer dereference of the sighand if it has already
been detached.  Instead, simply set TIF_MEMDIE so it has access to memory
reserves and can quickly exit as the comment implies.

It's possible to livelock the page allocator if a thread has mm->mmap_sem
and fails to make forward progress because the oom killer selects another
thread sharing the same ->mm to kill that cannot exit until the semaphore
is dropped.

The oom killer will not kill multiple tasks at the same time; each oom
killed task must exit before another task may be killed.  Thus, if one
thread is holding mm->mmap_sem and cannot allocate memory, all threads
sharing the same ->mm are blocked from exiting as well.  In the oom kill
case, that means the thread holding mm->mmap_sem will never free
additional memory since it cannot get access to memory reserves and the
thread that depends on it with access to memory reserves cannot exit
because it cannot acquire the semaphore.  Thus, the page allocators
livelocks.

When the oom killer is called and current happens to have a pending
SIGKILL, this patch automatically gives it access to memory reserves and
returns.  Upon returning to the page allocator, its allocation will
hopefully succeed so it can quickly exit and free its memory.  If not, the
page allocator will fail the allocation if it is not __GFP_NOFAIL.

When find_lock_task_mm() returns a thread other than p in dump_tasks(),
its name should be displayed instead.  This is the thread that will be
targeted by the oom killer, not its mm-less parent.

This also allows us to safely dereference task->comm without needing
get_task_comm().

While we're here, remove the cast on task_cpu(task) as Andrew suggested.

dump_task() should use find_lock_task_mm() too. It is necessary for
protecting task-exiting race.

dump_tasks() currently filters any task that does not have an attached
->mm since it incorrectly assumes that it must either be in the process of
exiting and has detached its memory or that it's a kernel thread;
multithreaded tasks may actually have subthreads that have a valid ->mm
pointer and thus those threads should actually be displayed.  This change
finds those threads, if they exist, and emit their information along with
the rest of the candidate tasks for kill.

Almost all ->mm == NULL checks in oom_kill.c are wrong.

The current code assumes that the task without ->mm has already released
its memory and ignores the process.  However this is not necessarily true
when this process is multithreaded, other live sub-threads can use this
->mm.

- Remove the "if (!p->mm)" check in select_bad_process(), it is
  just wrong.

- Add the new helper, find_lock_task_mm(), which finds the live
  thread which uses the memory and takes task_lock() to pin ->mm

- change oom_badness() to use this helper instead of just checking
  ->mm != NULL.

- As David pointed out, select_bad_process() must never choose the
  task without ->mm, but no matter what oom_badness() returns the
  task can be chosen if nothing else has been found yet.

  Change oom_badness() to return int, change it to return -1 if
  find_lock_task_mm() fails, and change select_bad_process() to
  check points >= 0.

Note! This patch is not enough, we need more changes.

	- oom_badness() was fixed, but oom_kill_task() still ignores
	  the task without ->mm

	- oom_forkbomb_penalty() should use find_lock_task_mm() too,
	  and it also needs other changes to actually find the first
	  first-descendant children

This will be addressed later.
