Remove fs.h from mm.h. For this, 1) Uninline vma_wants_writenotify(). It's pretty huge anyway. 2) Add back fs.h or less bloated headers (err.h) to files that need it. As result, on x86_64 allyesconfig, fs.h dependencies cut down from 3929 files rebuilt down to 3444 (-12.3%).

Fixes a deadlock in the OOM killer for allocations that are not __GFP_HARDWALL. Before the OOM killer checks for the allocation constraint, it takes callback_mutex. constrained_alloc() iterates through each zone in the allocation zonelist and calls cpuset_zone_allowed_softwall() to determine whether an allocation for gfp_mask is possible. If a zone's node is not in the OOM-triggering task's mems_allowed, it is not exiting, and we did not fail on a __GFP_HARDWALL allocation, cpuset_zone_allowed_softwall() attempts to take callback_mutex to check the nearest exclusive ancestor of current's cpuset. This results in deadlock. We now take callback_mutex after iterating through the zonelist since we don't need it yet.

constrained_alloc(), which is called to detect where oom is from, checks passed zone_list(). If zone_list doesn't include all nodes, it thinks oom is from mempolicy. But there is memory-less-node. memory-less-node's zones are never included in zonelist[]. contstrained_alloc() should get memory_less_node into count. Otherwise, it always thinks 'oom is from mempolicy'. This means that current process dies at any time. This patch fix it.

Elaborate the API for calling cpuset_zone_allowed(), so that users have to explicitly choose between the two variants: cpuset_zone_allowed_hardwall() cpuset_zone_allowed_softwall() Until now, whether or not you got the hardwall flavor depended solely on whether or not you or'd in the __GFP_HARDWALL gfp flag to the gfp_mask argument. If you didn't specify __GFP_HARDWALL, you implicitly got the softwall version. Unfortunately, this meant that users would end up with the softwall version without thinking about it. Since only the softwall version might sleep, this led to bugs with possible sleeping in interrupt context on more than one occassion. The hardwall version requires that the current tasks mems_allowed allows the node of the specified zone (or that you're in interrupt or that __GFP_THISNODE is set or that you're on a one cpuset system.) The softwall version, depending on the gfp_mask, might allow a node if it was allowed in the nearest enclusing cpuset marked mem_exclusive (which requires taking the cpuset lock 'callback_mutex' to evaluate.) This patch removes the cpuset_zone_allowed() call, and forces the caller to explicitly choose between the hardwall and the softwall case. If the caller wants the gfp_mask to determine this choice, they should (1) be sure they can sleep or that __GFP_HARDWALL is set, and (2) invoke the cpuset_zone_allowed_softwall() routine. This adds another 100 or 200 bytes to the kernel text space, due to the few lines of nearly duplicate code at the top of both cpuset_zone_allowed_* routines. It should save a few instructions executed for the calls that turned into calls of cpuset_zone_allowed_hardwall, thanks to not having to set (before the call) then check (within the call) the __GFP_HARDWALL flag. For the most critical call, from get_page_from_freelist(), the same instructions are executed as before -- the old cpuset_zone_allowed() routine it used to call is the same code as the cpuset_zone_allowed_softwall() routine that it calls now. Not a perfect win, but seems worth it, to reduce this chance of hitting a sleeping with irq off complaint again.

We don't want the PF_EXITING task, even if it is 'current', to access mem reserves if there is already a TIF_MEMDIE process in the system sucking up reserves.

This is an updated version of Eric Biederman's is_init() patch. (http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/6/280). It applies cleanly to 2.6.18-rc3 and replaces a few more instances of ->pid == 1 with is_init(). Further, is_init() checks pid and thus removes dependency on Eric's other patches for now. Eric's original description: There are a lot of places in the kernel where we test for init because we give it special properties. Most significantly init must not die. This results in code all over the kernel test ->pid == 1. Introduce is_init to capture this case. With multiple pid spaces for all of the cases affected we are looking for only the first process on the system, not some other process that has pid == 1. Signed-off-by: NEric W.

Having the oomkilladj == OOM_DISABLE check before the releasing check means that oomkilladj == OOM_DISABLE tasks exiting will not stop the OOM killer. Moving the test down will give the desired behaviour. Also: it will allow them to "OOM-kill" themselves if they are exiting. As per the previous patch, this is required to prevent OOM killer deadlocks (and they don't actually get killed, because they're already exiting -- they're simply allowed access to memory reserves).

If current *is* exiting, it should actually be allowed to access reserved memory rather than OOM kill something else. Can't do this via a straight check in page_alloc.c because that would allow multiple tasks to use up reserves. Instead cause current to OOM-kill itself which will mark it as TIF_MEMDIE. The current procedure of simply aborting the OOM-kill if a task is exiting can lead to OOM deadlocks. In the case of killing a PF_EXITING task, don't make a lot of noise about it. This becomes more important in future patches, where we can "kill" OOM_DISABLE tasks.

Add a notifer chain to the out of memory killer. If one of the registered callbacks could release some memory, do not kill the process but return and retry the allocation that forced the oom killer to run. The purpose of the notifier is to add a safety net in the presence of memory ballooners. If the resource manager inflated the balloon to a size where memory allocations can not be satisfied anymore, it is better to deflate the balloon a bit instead of killing processes. The implementation for the s390 ballooner is included.

This patch adds panic_on_oom sysctl under sys.vm. When sysctl vm.panic_on_oom = 1, the kernel panics intead of killing rogue processes. And if vm.panic_on_oom is 0 the kernel will do oom_kill() in the same way as it does today. Of course, the default value is 0 and only root can modifies it. In general, oom_killer works well and kill rogue processes. So the whole system can survive. But there are environments where panic is preferable rather than kill some processes.

Some allocations are restricted to a limited set of nodes (due to memory policies or cpuset constraints). If the page allocator is not able to find enough memory then that does not mean that overall system memory is low. In particular going postal and more or less randomly shooting at processes is not likely going to help the situation but may just lead to suicide (the whole system coming down). It is better to signal to the process that no memory exists given the constraints that the process (or the configuration of the process) has placed on the allocation behavior. The process may be killed but then the sysadmin or developer can investigate the situation. The solution is similar to what we do when running out of hugepages. This patch adds a check before we kill processes. At that point performance considerations do not matter much so we just scan the zonelist and reconstruct a list of nodes. If the list of nodes does not contain all online nodes then this is a constrained allocation and we should kill the current process.

In the badness() calculation, there's currently this piece of code: /* * Processes which fork a lot of child processes are likely * a good choice. We add the vmsize of the children if they * have an own mm. This prevents forking servers to flood the * machine with an endless amount of children */ list_for_each(tsk, &p->children) { struct task_struct *chld; chld = list_entry(tsk, struct task_struct, sibling); if (chld->mm = p->mm && chld->mm) points += chld->mm->total_vm; } The intention is clear: If some server (apache) keeps spawning new children and we run OOM, we want to kill the father rather than picking a child. This -- to some degree -- also helps a bit with getting fork bombs under control, though I'd consider this a desirable side-effect rather than a feature. There's one problem with this: No matter how many or few children there are, if just one of them misbehaves, and all others (including the father) do everything right, we still always kill the whole family. This hits in real life; whether it's javascript in konqueror resulting in kdeinit (and thus the whole KDE session) being hit or just a classical server that spawns children. Sidenote: The killer does kill all direct children as well, not only the selected father, see oom_kill_process(). The idea in attached patch is that we do want to account the memory consumption of the (direct) children to the father -- however not fully. This maintains the property that fathers with too many children will still very likely be picked, whereas a single misbehaving child has the chance to be picked by the OOM killer. In the patch I account only half (rounded up) of the children's vm_size to the parent. This means that if one child eats more mem than the rest of the family, it will be picked, otherwise it's still the father and thus the whole family that gets selected. This is heuristics -- we could debate whether accounting for a fourth would be better than for half of it. Or -- if people would consider it worth the trouble -- make it a sysctl. For now I sticked to accounting for half, which should IMHO be a significant improvement. The patch does one more thing: As users tend to be irritated by the choice of killed processes (mainly because the children are killed first, despite some of them having a very low OOM score), I added some more output: The selected (father) process will be reported first and it's oom_score printed to syslog. Description: Only account for half of children's vm size in oom score calculation This should still give the parent enough point in case of fork bombs. If any child however has more than 50% of the vm size of all children together, it'll get a higher score and be elected. This patch also makes the kernel display the oom_score.
