      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      memcg: fix oom kill behavior · 867578cb
      KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 提交于
      In current page-fault code,
      
      	handle_mm_fault()
      		-> ...
      		-> mem_cgroup_charge()
      		-> map page or handle error.
      	-> check return code.
      
      If page fault's return code is VM_FAULT_OOM, page_fault_out_of_memory() is
      called.  But if it's caused by memcg, OOM should have been already
      invoked.
      
      Then, I added a patch: a636b327.  That
      patch records last_oom_jiffies for memcg's sub-hierarchy and prevents
      page_fault_out_of_memory from being invoked in near future.
      
      But Nishimura-san reported that check by jiffies is not enough when the
      system is terribly heavy.
      
      This patch changes memcg's oom logic as.
       * If memcg causes OOM-kill, continue to retry.
       * remove jiffies check which is used now.
       * add memcg-oom-lock which works like perzone oom lock.
       * If current is killed(as a process), bypass charge.
      
      Something more sophisticated can be added but this pactch does
      fundamental things.
      TODO:
       - add oom notifier
       - add permemcg disable-oom-kill flag and freezer at oom.
       - more chances for wake up oom waiter (when changing memory limit etc..)

      memcg: handle panic_on_oom=always case · daaf1e68
      KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 提交于
      Presently, if panic_on_oom=2, the whole system panics even if the oom
      happend in some special situation (as cpuset, mempolicy....).  Then,
      panic_on_oom=2 means painc_on_oom_always.
      
      Now, memcg doesn't check panic_on_oom flag. This patch adds a check.
      
      BTW, how it's useful ?
      
      kdump+panic_on_oom=2 is the last tool to investigate what happens in
      oom-ed system.  When a task is killed, the sysytem recovers and there will
      be few hint to know what happnes.  In mission critical system, oom should
      never happen.  Then, panic_on_oom=2+kdump is useful to avoid next OOM by
      knowing precise information via snapshot.
      
      TODO:
       - For memcg, it's for isolate system's memory usage, oom-notiifer and
         freeze_at_oom (or rest_at_oom) should be implemented. Then, management
         daemon can do similar jobs (as kdump) or taking snapshot per cgroup.

      oom: oom_kill doesn't kill vfork parent (or child) · 8c5cd6f3

      Current oom_kill doesn't only kill the victim process, but also kill all
      thas shread the same mm.  it mean vfork parent will be killed.
      
      This is definitely incorrect.  another process have another oom_adj.  we
      shouldn't ignore their oom_adj (it might have OOM_DISABLE).
      
      following caller hit the minefield.

      oom: move oom_adj value from task_struct to signal_struct · 28b83c51
      KOSAKI Motohiro 提交于
      Currently, OOM logic callflow is here.
      
          __out_of_memory()
              select_bad_process()            for each task
                  badness()                   calculate badness of one task
                      oom_kill_process()      search child
                          oom_kill_task()     kill target task and mm shared tasks with it
      
      example, process-A have two thread, thread-A and thread-B and it have very
      fat memory and each thread have following oom_adj and oom_score.
      
           thread-A: oom_adj = OOM_DISABLE, oom_score = 0
           thread-B: oom_adj = 0,           oom_score = very-high
      
      Then, select_bad_process() select thread-B, but oom_kill_task() refuse
      kill the task because thread-A have OOM_DISABLE.  Thus __out_of_memory()
      call select_bad_process() again.  but select_bad_process() select the same
      task.  It mean kernel fall in livelock.
      
      The fact is, select_bad_process() must select killable task.  otherwise
      OOM logic go into livelock.
      
      And root cause is, oom_adj shouldn't be per-thread value.  it should be
      per-process value because OOM-killer kill a process, not thread.  Thus
      This patch moves oomkilladj (now more appropriately named oom_adj) from
      struct task_struct to struct signal_struct.  it naturally prevent
      select_bad_process() choose wrong task.

      ksm: unmerge is an origin of OOMs · 35451bee
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      Just as the swapoff system call allocates many pages of RAM to various
      processes, perhaps triggering OOM, so "echo 2 >/sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run"
      (unmerge) is liable to allocate many pages of RAM to various processes,
      perhaps triggering OOM; and each is normally run from a modest admin
      process (swapoff or shell), easily repeated until it succeeds.
      
      So treat unmerge_and_remove_all_rmap_items() in the same way that we treat
      try_to_unuse(): generalize PF_SWAPOFF to PF_OOM_ORIGIN, and bracket both
      with that, to ask the OOM killer to kill them first, to prevent them from
      spawning more and more OOM kills.

      mm: revert "oom: move oom_adj value" · 0753ba01
      KOSAKI Motohiro 提交于
      The commit 2ff05b2b (oom: move oom_adj value) moveed the oom_adj value to
      the mm_struct.  It was a very good first step for sanitize OOM.
      
      However Paul Menage reported the commit makes regression to his job
      scheduler.  Current OOM logic can kill OOM_DISABLED process.
      
      Why? His program has the code of similar to the following.
      
      	...
      	set_oom_adj(OOM_DISABLE); /* The job scheduler never killed by oom */
      	...
      	if (vfork() == 0) {
      		set_oom_adj(0); /* Invoked child can be killed */
      		execve("foo-bar-cmd");
      	}
      	....
      
      vfork() parent and child are shared the same mm_struct.  then above
      set_oom_adj(0) doesn't only change oom_adj for vfork() child, it's also
      change oom_adj for vfork() parent.  Then, vfork() parent (job scheduler)
      lost OOM immune and it was killed.
      
      Actually, fork-setting-exec idiom is very frequently used in userland program.
      We must not break this assumption.
      
      Then, this patch revert commit 2ff05b2b and related commit.

      oom: only oom kill exiting tasks with attached memory · 81236810
      David Rientjes 提交于
      When a task is chosen for oom kill and is found to be PF_EXITING,
      __oom_kill_task() is called to elevate the task's timeslice and give it
      access to memory reserves so that it may quickly exit.
      
      This privilege is unnecessary, however, if the task has already detached
      its mm.  Although its possible for the mm to become detached later since
      task_lock() is not held, __oom_kill_task() will simply be a no-op in such
      circumstances.
      
      Subsequently, it is no longer necessary to warn about killing mm-less
      tasks since it is a no-op.

      oom: avoid unnecessary mm locking and scanning for OOM_DISABLE · 4d8b9135
      David Rientjes 提交于
      This moves the check for OOM_DISABLE to the badness heuristic so it is
      only necessary to hold task_lock() once.  If the mm is OOM_DISABLE, the
      score is 0, which is also correctly exported via /proc/pid/oom_score.
      This requires that tasks with badness scores of 0 are prohibited from
      being oom killed, which makes sense since they would not allow for future
      memory freeing anyway.
      
      Since the oom_adj value is a characteristic of an mm and not a task, it is
      no longer necessary to check the oom_adj value for threads sharing the
      same memory (except when simply issuing SIGKILLs for threads in other
      thread groups).

      oom: move oom_adj value from task_struct to mm_struct · 2ff05b2b
      David Rientjes 提交于
      The per-task oom_adj value is a characteristic of its mm more than the
      task itself since it's not possible to oom kill any thread that shares the
      mm.  If a task were to be killed while attached to an mm that could not be
      freed because another thread were set to OOM_DISABLE, it would have
      needlessly been terminated since there is no potential for future memory
      freeing.
      
      This patch moves oomkilladj (now more appropriately named oom_adj) from
      struct task_struct to struct mm_struct.  This requires task_lock() on a
      task to check its oom_adj value to protect against exec, but it's already
      necessary to take the lock when dereferencing the mm to find the total VM
      size for the badness heuristic.
      
      This fixes a livelock if the oom killer chooses a task and another thread
      sharing the same memory has an oom_adj value of OOM_DISABLE.  This occurs
      because oom_kill_task() repeatedly returns 1 and refuses to kill the
      chosen task while select_bad_process() will repeatedly choose the same
      task during the next retry.
      
      Taking task_lock() in select_bad_process() to check for OOM_DISABLE and in
      oom_kill_task() to check for threads sharing the same memory will be
      removed in the next patch in this series where it will no longer be
      necessary.
      
      Writing to /proc/pid/oom_adj for a kthread will now return -EINVAL since
      these threads are immune from oom killing already.  They simply report an
      oom_adj value of OOM_DISABLE.
