      mm, oom: introduce memory.oom.group · 3d8b38eb
      由 Roman Gushchin 提交于 
      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.

      mm, oom: refactor oom_kill_process() · 5989ad7b
      由 Roman Gushchin 提交于 
      Patch series "introduce memory.oom.group", v2.

This is a tiny implementation of cgroup-aware OOM killer, which adds an
ability to kill a cgroup as a single unit and so guarantee the integrity
of the workload.

Although it has only a limited functionality in comparison to what now
resides in the mm tree (it doesn't change the victim task selection
algorithm, doesn't look at memory stas on cgroup level, etc), it's also
much simpler and more straightforward.  So, hopefully, we can avoid having
long debates here, as we had with the full implementation.

As it doesn't prevent any futher development, and implements an useful and
complete feature, it looks as a sane way forward.

This patch (of 2):

oom_kill_process() consists of two logical parts: the first one is
responsible for considering task's children as a potential victim and
printing the debug information.  The second half is responsible for
sending SIGKILL to all tasks sharing the mm struct with the given victim.

This commit splits oom_kill_process() with an intention to re-use the the
second half: __oom_kill_process().

The cgroup-aware OOM killer will kill multiple tasks belonging to the
victim cgroup.  We don't need to print the debug information for the each
task, as well as play with task selection (considering task's children),
so we can't use the existing oom_kill_process().

      mm/oom_kill.c: clean up oom_reap_task_mm() · 431f42fd
      由 Michal Hocko 提交于 
      Andrew has noticed some inconsistencies in oom_reap_task_mm.  Notably

 - Undocumented return value.

 - comment "failed to reap part..." is misleading - sounds like it's
   referring to something which happened in the past, is in fact
   referring to something which might happen in the future.

 - fails to call trace_finish_task_reaping() in one case

 - code duplication.

 - Increases mmap_sem hold time a little by moving
   trace_finish_task_reaping() inside the locked region.  So sue me ;)

 - Sharing the finish: path means that the trace event won't
   distinguish between the two sources of finishing.

Add a short explanation for the return value and fix the rest by
reorganizing the function a bit to have unified function exit paths.

      mm, oom: remove oom_lock from oom_reaper · af5679fb
      由 Michal Hocko 提交于 
      oom_reaper used to rely on the oom_lock since e2fe1456 ("oom_reaper:
close race with exiting task").  We do not really need the lock anymore
though.  21292580 ("mm: oom: let oom_reap_task and exit_mmap run
concurrently") has removed serialization with the exit path based on the
mm reference count and so we do not really rely on the oom_lock anymore.

Tetsuo was arguing that at least MMF_OOM_SKIP should be set under the lock
to prevent from races when the page allocator didn't manage to get the
freed (reaped) memory in __alloc_pages_may_oom but it sees the flag later
on and move on to another victim.  Although this is possible in principle
let's wait for it to actually happen in real life before we make the
locking more complex again.

Therefore remove the oom_lock for oom_reaper paths (both exit_mmap and
oom_reap_task_mm).  The reaper serializes with exit_mmap by mmap_sem +
MMF_OOM_SKIP flag.  There is no synchronization with out_of_memory path
now.

      mm, oom: distinguish blockable mode for mmu notifiers · 93065ac7
      由 Michal Hocko 提交于 
      There are several blockable mmu notifiers which might sleep in
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start and that is a problem for the
oom_reaper because it needs to guarantee a forward progress so it cannot
depend on any sleepable locks.

Currently we simply back off and mark an oom victim with blockable mmu
notifiers as done after a short sleep.  That can result in selecting a new
oom victim prematurely because the previous one still hasn't torn its
memory down yet.

We can do much better though.  Even if mmu notifiers use sleepable locks
there is no reason to automatically assume those locks are held.  Moreover
majority of notifiers only care about a portion of the address space and
there is absolutely zero reason to fail when we are unmapping an unrelated
range.  Many notifiers do really block and wait for HW which is harder to
handle and we have to bail out though.

This patch handles the low hanging fruit.
__mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start gets a blockable flag and callbacks
are not allowed to sleep if the flag is set to false.  This is achieved by
using trylock instead of the sleepable lock for most callbacks and
continue as long as we do not block down the call chain.

I think we can improve that even further because there is a common pattern
to do a range lookup first and then do something about that.  The first
part can be done without a sleeping lock in most cases AFAICS.

The oom_reaper end then simply retries if there is at least one notifier
which couldn't make any progress in !blockable mode.  A retry loop is
already implemented to wait for the mmap_sem and this is basically the
same thing.

The simplest way for driver developers to test this code path is to wrap
userspace code which uses these notifiers into a memcg and set the hard
limit to hit the oom.  This can be done e.g.  after the test faults in all
the mmu notifier managed memory and set the hard limit to something really
small.  Then we are looking for a proper process tear down.

      mm, oom: fix concurrent munlock and oom reaper unmap, v3 · 27ae357f
      由 David Rientjes 提交于 
      Since exit_mmap() is done without the protection of mm->mmap_sem, it is
possible for the oom reaper to concurrently operate on an mm until
MMF_OOM_SKIP is set.

This allows munlock_vma_pages_all() to concurrently run while the oom
reaper is operating on a vma.  Since munlock_vma_pages_range() depends
on clearing VM_LOCKED from vm_flags before actually doing the munlock to
determine if any other vmas are locking the same memory, the check for
VM_LOCKED in the oom reaper is racy.

This is especially noticeable on architectures such as powerpc where
clearing a huge pmd requires serialize_against_pte_lookup().  If the pmd
is zapped by the oom reaper during follow_page_mask() after the check
for pmd_none() is bypassed, this ends up deferencing a NULL ptl or a
kernel oops.

Fix this by manually freeing all possible memory from the mm before
doing the munlock and then setting MMF_OOM_SKIP.  The oom reaper can not
run on the mm anymore so the munlock is safe to do in exit_mmap().  It
also matches the logic that the oom reaper currently uses for
determining when to set MMF_OOM_SKIP itself, so there's no new risk of
excessive oom killing.

This issue fixes CVE-2018-1000200.

     kthread+0xc1/0xe0

Tetsuo Handa has noticed that the synchronization inside exit_mmap is
insufficient.  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.

      mm, oom_reaper: gather each vma to prevent leaking TLB entry · 687cb088
      由 Wang Nan 提交于 
      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 5a7862e8 ("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.

      mm, oom_reaper: skip mm structs with mmu notifiers · 4d4bbd85
      由 Michal Hocko 提交于 
      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.

      mm: oom: let oom_reap_task and exit_mmap run concurrently · 21292580
      由 Andrea Arcangeli 提交于 
      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.

      mm, oom: do not rely on TIF_MEMDIE for memory reserves access · cd04ae1e
      由 Michal Hocko 提交于 
      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 1b51e65e ("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.

      mm/oom_kill.c: add tracepoints for oom reaper-related events · 422580c3
      由 Roman Gushchin 提交于 
      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.

Trace the following events:
 1) a process is marked as an oom victim,
 2) a process is added to the oom reaper list,
 3) the oom reaper starts reaping process's mm,
 4) the oom reaper finished reaping,
 5) the oom reaper skips reaping.

How it works in practice? Below is an example which show how the problem
mentioned above can be found: one process is added twice to the
oom_reaper list:

  $ cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
  $ echo "oom:mark_victim" > set_event
  $ echo "oom:wake_reaper" >> set_event
  $ echo "oom:skip_task_reaping" >> set_event
  $ echo "oom:start_task_reaping" >> set_event
  $ echo "oom:finish_task_reaping" >> set_event
  $ cat trace_pipe
          allocate-502   [001] ....    91.836405: mark_victim: pid=502
          allocate-502   [001] .N..    91.837356: wake_reaper: pid=502
          allocate-502   [000] .N..    91.871149: wake_reaper: pid=502
        oom_reaper-23    [000] ....    91.871177: start_task_reaping: pid=502
        oom_reaper-23    [000] .N..    91.879511: finish_task_reaping: pid=502
        oom_reaper-23    [000] ....    91.879580: skip_task_reaping: pid=502

      oom: improve oom disable handling · d75da004
      由 Michal Hocko 提交于 
      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 7c5f64f8 ("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.
