Tetsuo Handa 9df10fb7b8 oom_reaper: avoid pointless atomic_inc_not_zero usage.
Since commit 36324a990c ("oom: clear TIF_MEMDIE after oom_reaper
managed to unmap the address space") changed to use find_lock_task_mm()
for finding a mm_struct to reap, it is guaranteed that mm->mm_users > 0
because find_lock_task_mm() returns a task_struct with ->mm != NULL.
Therefore, we can safely use atomic_inc().

Tetsuo Handa 491a1c65ae mm,oom_reaper: don't call mmput_async() without atomic_inc_not_zero()
Commit e2fe14564d ("oom_reaper: close race with exiting task") reduced
frequency of needlessly selecting next OOM victim, but was calling
mmput_async() when atomic_inc_not_zero() failed.

Michal Hocko cbdcf7f789 mm, oom_reaper: do not use siglock in try_oom_reaper()
Oleg has noted that siglock usage in try_oom_reaper is both pointless
and dangerous.  signal_group_exit can be checked lockless.  The problem
is that sighand becomes NULL in __exit_signal so we can crash.

Michal Hocko e2fe14564d oom_reaper: close race with exiting task
Tetsuo has reported:

In other words:

  __oom_reap_task		exit_mm
    atomic_inc_not_zero
				  tsk->mm = NULL
				  mmput
				    atomic_dec_and_test # > 0
				  exit_oom_victim # New victim will be
						  # selected
				<OOM killer invoked>
				  # no TIF_MEMDIE task so we can select a new one
    unmap_page_range # to release the memory

The race exists even without the oom_reaper because anybody who pins the
address space and gets preempted might race with exit_mm but oom_reaper
made this race more probable.

We can address the oom_reaper part by using oom_lock for __oom_reap_task
because this would guarantee that a new oom victim will not be selected
if the oom reaper might race with the exit path.  This doesn't solve the
original issue, though, because somebody else still might be pinning
mm_users and so __mmput won't be called to release the memory but that
is not really realiably solvable because the task will get away from the
oom sight as soon as it is unhashed from the task_list and so we cannot
guarantee a new victim won't be selected.

Vladimir Davydov edd9f7230f mm: oom: do not reap task if there are live threads in threadgroup
If the current process is exiting, we don't invoke oom killer, instead
we give it access to memory reserves and try to reap its mm in case
nobody is going to use it.  There's a mistake in the code performing
this check - we just ignore any process of the same thread group no
matter if it is exiting or not - see try_oom_reaper.  Fix it.

Tetsuo Handa f44666b046 mm,oom: speed up select_bad_process() loop
Since commit 3a5dda7a17 ("oom: prevent unnecessary oom kills or kernel
panics"), select_bad_process() is using for_each_process_thread().

Since oom_unkillable_task() scans all threads in the caller's thread
group and oom_task_origin() scans signal_struct of the caller's thread
group, we don't need to call oom_unkillable_task() and oom_task_origin()
on each thread.  Also, since !mm test will be done later at
oom_badness(), we don't need to do !mm test on each thread.  Therefore,
we only need to do TIF_MEMDIE test on each thread.

Although the original code was correct it was quite inefficient because
each thread group was scanned num_threads times which can be a lot
especially with processes with many threads.  Even though the OOM is
extremely cold path it is always good to be as effective as possible
when we are inside rcu_read_lock() - aka unpreemptible context.

If we track number of TIF_MEMDIE threads inside signal_struct, we don't
need to do TIF_MEMDIE test on each thread.  This will allow
select_bad_process() to use for_each_process().

This patch adds a counter to signal_struct for tracking how many
TIF_MEMDIE threads are in a given thread group, and check it at
oom_scan_process_thread() so that select_bad_process() can use
for_each_process() rather than for_each_process_thread().

Michal Hocko ec8d7c14ea mm, oom_reaper: do not mmput synchronously from the oom reaper context
Tetsuo has properly noted that mmput slow path might get blocked waiting
for another party (e.g.  exit_aio waits for an IO).  If that happens the
oom_reaper would be put out of the way and will not be able to process
next oom victim.  We should strive for making this context as reliable
and independent on other subsystems as much as possible.

Introduce mmput_async which will perform the slow path from an async
(WQ) context.  This will delay the operation but that shouldn't be a
problem because the oom_reaper has reclaimed the victim's address space
for most cases as much as possible and the remaining context shouldn't
bind too much memory anymore.  The only exception is when mmap_sem
trylock has failed which shouldn't happen too often.

The issue is only theoretical but not impossible.

Michal Hocko bb8a4b7fd1 mm, oom_reaper: hide oom reaped tasks from OOM killer more carefully
Commit 36324a990c ("oom: clear TIF_MEMDIE after oom_reaper managed to
unmap the address space") not only clears TIF_MEMDIE for oom reaped task
but also set OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN for the target task to hide it from the
oom killer.  This works in simple cases but it is not sufficient for
(unlikely) cases where the mm is shared between independent processes
(as they do not share signal struct).  If the mm had only small amount
of memory which could be reaped then another task sharing the mm could
be selected and that wouldn't help to move out from the oom situation.

Introduce MMF_OOM_REAPED mm flag which is checked in oom_badness (same
as OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN) and task is skipped if the flag is set.  Set the
flag after __oom_reap_task is done with a task.  This will force the
select_bad_process() to ignore all already oom reaped tasks as well as
no such task is sacrificed for its parent.

Michal Hocko 449d777d7a mm, oom_reaper: clear TIF_MEMDIE for all tasks queued for oom_reaper
Right now the oom reaper will clear TIF_MEMDIE only for tasks which were
successfully reaped.  This is the safest option because we know that
such an oom victim would only block forward progress of the oom killer
without a good reason because it is highly unlikely it would release
much more memory.  Basically most of its memory has been already torn
down.

We can relax this assumption to catch more corner cases though.

The first obvious one is when the oom victim clears its mm and gets
stuck later on.  oom_reaper would back of on find_lock_task_mm returning
NULL.  We can safely try to clear TIF_MEMDIE in this case because such a
task would be ignored by the oom killer anyway.  The flag would be
cleared by that time already most of the time anyway.

The less obvious one is when the oom reaper fails due to mmap_sem
contention.  Even if we clear TIF_MEMDIE for this task then it is not
very likely that we would select another task too easily because we
haven't reaped the last victim and so it would be still the #1
candidate.  There is a rare race condition possible when the current
victim terminates before the next select_bad_process but considering
that oom_reap_task had retried several times before giving up then this
sounds like a borderline thing.

After this patch we should have a guarantee that the OOM killer will not
be block for unbounded amount of time for most cases.

Michal Hocko 3ef22dfff2 oom, oom_reaper: try to reap tasks which skip regular OOM killer path
If either the current task is already killed or PF_EXITING or a selected
task is PF_EXITING then the oom killer is suppressed and so is the oom
reaper.  This patch adds try_oom_reaper which checks the given task and
queues it for the oom reaper if that is safe to be done meaning that the
task doesn't share the mm with an alive process.

This might help to release the memory pressure while the task tries to
exit.

Michal Hocko 3da88fb3ba mm, oom: move GFP_NOFS check to out_of_memory
__alloc_pages_may_oom is the central place to decide when the
out_of_memory should be invoked.  This is a good approach for most
checks there because they are page allocator specific and the allocation
fails right after for all of them.

The notable exception is GFP_NOFS context which is faking
did_some_progress and keep the page allocator looping even though there
couldn't have been any progress from the OOM killer.  This patch doesn't
change this behavior because we are not ready to allow those allocation
requests to fail yet (and maybe we will face the reality that we will
never manage to safely fail these request).  Instead __GFP_FS check is
moved down to out_of_memory and prevent from OOM victim selection there.
There are two reasons for that

	- OOM notifiers might release some memory even from this context
	  as none of the registered notifier seems to be FS related
	- this might help a dying thread to get an access to memory
          reserves and move on which will make the behavior more
          consistent with the case when the task gets killed from a
          different context.

Keep a comment in __alloc_pages_may_oom to make sure we do not forget
how GFP_NOFS is special and that we really want to do something about
it.

Note to the current oom_notifier users:

The observable difference for you is that oom notifiers cannot depend on
any fs locks because we could deadlock.  Not that this would be allowed
today because that would just lockup machine in most of the cases and
ruling out the OOM killer along the way.  Another difference is that
callbacks might be invoked sooner now because GFP_NOFS is a weaker
reclaim context and so there could be reclaimable memory which is just
not reachable now.  That would require GFP_NOFS only loads which are
really rare and more importantly the observable result would be dropping
of reconstructible object and potential performance drop which is not
such a big deal when we are struggling to fulfill other important
allocation requests.

Michal Hocko e26796066f oom: make oom_reaper freezable
After "oom: clear TIF_MEMDIE after oom_reaper managed to unmap the
address space" oom_reaper will call exit_oom_victim on the target task
after it is done.  This might however race with the PM freezer:

CPU0				CPU1				CPU2
freeze_processes
  try_to_freeze_tasks
  				# Allocation request
				out_of_memory
  oom_killer_disable
				  wake_oom_reaper(P1)
				  				__oom_reap_task
								  exit_oom_victim(P1)
    wait_event(oom_victims==0)
[...]
    				do_exit(P1)
				  perform IO/interfere with the freezer

which breaks the oom_killer_disable semantic.  We no longer have a
guarantee that the oom victim won't interfere with the freezer because
it might be anywhere on the way to do_exit while the freezer thinks the
task has already terminated.  It might trigger IO or touch devices which
are frozen already.

In order to close this race, make the oom_reaper thread freezable.  This
will work because
	a) already running oom_reaper will block freezer to enter the
	   quiescent state
	b) wake_oom_reaper will not wake up the reaper after it has been
	   frozen
	c) the only way to call exit_oom_victim after try_to_freeze_tasks
	   is from the oom victim's context when we know the further
	   interference shouldn't be possible

Tetsuo has reported that oom_kill_allocating_task=1 will cause
oom_reaper_list corruption because oom_kill_process doesn't follow
standard OOM exclusion (aka ignores TIF_MEMDIE) and allows to enqueue
the same task multiple times - e.g.  by sacrificing the same child
multiple times.

This patch fixes the issue by introducing a new MMF_OOM_KILLED mm flag
which is set in oom_kill_process atomically and oom reaper is disabled
if the flag was already set.

Michal Hocko 03049269de mm, oom_reaper: implement OOM victims queuing
wake_oom_reaper has allowed only 1 oom victim to be queued.  The main
reason for that was the simplicity as other solutions would require some
way of queuing.  The current approach is racy and that was deemed
sufficient as the oom_reaper is considered a best effort approach to
help with oom handling when the OOM victim cannot terminate in a
reasonable time.  The race could lead to missing an oom victim which can
get stuck

out_of_memory
  wake_oom_reaper
    cmpxchg // OK
    			oom_reaper
			  oom_reap_task
			    __oom_reap_task
oom_victim terminates
			      atomic_inc_not_zero // fail
out_of_memory
  wake_oom_reaper
    cmpxchg // fails
			  task_to_reap = NULL

This race requires 2 OOM invocations in a short time period which is not
very likely but certainly not impossible.  E.g.  the original victim
might have not released a lot of memory for some reason.

The situation would improve considerably if wake_oom_reaper used a more
robust queuing.  This is what this patch implements.  This means adding
oom_reaper_list list_head into task_struct (eat a hole before embeded
thread_struct for that purpose) and a oom_reaper_lock spinlock for
queuing synchronization.  wake_oom_reaper will then add the task on the
queue and oom_reaper will dequeue it.

makes sense to clear the TIF_MEMDIE flag for the victim and allow the
OOM killer to select another task.

The lack of TIF_MEMDIE also means that the victim cannot access memory
reserves anymore but that shouldn't be a problem because it would get
the access again if it needs to allocate and hits the OOM killer again
due to the fatal_signal_pending resp.  PF_EXITING check.  We can safely
hide the task from the OOM killer because it is clearly not a good
candidate anymore as everyhing reclaimable has been torn down already.

This patch will allow to cap the time an OOM victim can keep TIF_MEMDIE
and thus hold off further global OOM killer actions granted the oom
reaper is able to take mmap_sem for the associated mm struct.  This is
not guaranteed now but further steps should make sure that mmap_sem for
write should be blocked killable which will help to reduce such a lock
contention.  This is not done by this patch.

Note that exit_oom_victim might be called on a remote task from
__oom_reap_task now so we have to check and clear the flag atomically
otherwise we might race and underflow oom_victims or wake up waiters too
early.

Michal Hocko aac4536355 mm, oom: introduce oom reaper
This patch (of 5):

This is based on the idea from Mel Gorman discussed during LSFMM 2015
and independently brought up by Oleg Nesterov.

The OOM killer currently allows to kill only a single task in a good
hope that the task will terminate in a reasonable time and frees up its
memory.  Such a task (oom victim) will get an access to memory reserves
via mark_oom_victim to allow a forward progress should there be a need
for additional memory during exit path.

It has been shown (e.g.  by Tetsuo Handa) that it is not that hard to
construct workloads which break the core assumption mentioned above and
the OOM victim might take unbounded amount of time to exit because it
might be blocked in the uninterruptible state waiting for an event (e.g.
lock) which is blocked by another task looping in the page allocator.

This patch reduces the probability of such a lockup by introducing a
specialized kernel thread (oom_reaper) which tries to reclaim additional
memory by preemptively reaping the anonymous or swapped out memory owned
by the oom victim under an assumption that such a memory won't be needed
when its owner is killed and kicked from the userspace anyway.  There is
one notable exception to this, though, if the OOM victim was in the
process of coredumping the result would be incomplete.  This is
considered a reasonable constrain because the overall system health is
more important than debugability of a particular application.

A kernel thread has been chosen because we need a reliable way of
invocation so workqueue context is not appropriate because all the
workers might be busy (e.g.  allocating memory).  Kswapd which sounds
like another good fit is not appropriate as well because it might get
blocked on locks during reclaim as well.

oom_reaper has to take mmap_sem on the target task for reading so the
solution is not 100% because the semaphore might be held or blocked for
write but the probability is reduced considerably wrt.  basically any
lock blocking forward progress as described above.  In order to prevent
from blocking on the lock without any forward progress we are using only
a trylock and retry 10 times with a short sleep in between.  Users of
mmap_sem which need it for write should be carefully reviewed to use
_killable waiting as much as possible and reduce allocations requests
done with the lock held to absolute minimum to reduce the risk even
further.

The API between oom killer and oom reaper is quite trivial.
wake_oom_reaper updates mm_to_reap with cmpxchg to guarantee only
NULL->mm transition and oom_reaper clear this atomically once it is done
with the work.  This means that only a single mm_struct can be reaped at
the time.  As the operation is potentially disruptive we are trying to
limit it to the ncessary minimum and the reaper blocks any updates while
it operates on an mm.  mm_struct is pinned by mm_count to allow parallel
exit_mmap and a race is detected by atomic_inc_not_zero(mm_users).

Tetsuo Handa 6afcf2895e mm,oom: make oom_killer_disable() killable
While oom_killer_disable() is called by freeze_processes() after all
user threads except the current thread are frozen, it is possible that
kernel threads invoke the OOM killer and sends SIGKILL to the current
thread due to sharing the thawed victim's memory.  Therefore, checking
for SIGKILL is preferable than TIF_MEMDIE.

Johannes Weiner 6a618957ad mm: oom_kill: don't ignore oom score on exiting tasks
When the OOM killer scans tasks and encounters a PF_EXITING one, it
force-selects that task regardless of the score.  The problem is that if
that task got stuck waiting for some state the allocation site is
holding, the OOM reaper can not move on to the next best victim.

Frankly, I don't even know why we check for exiting tasks in the OOM
killer.  We've tried direct reclaim at least 15 times by the time we
decide the system is OOM, there was plenty of time to exit and free
memory; and a task might exit voluntarily right after we issue a kill.
This is testing pure noise.  Remove it.

Jerome Marchand eca56ff906 mm, shmem: add internal shmem resident memory accounting
Currently looking at /proc/<pid>/status or statm, there is no way to
distinguish shmem pages from pages mapped to a regular file (shmem pages
are mapped to /dev/zero), even though their implication in actual memory
use is quite different.

The internal accounting currently counts shmem pages together with
regular files.  As a preparation to extend the userspace interfaces,
this patch adds MM_SHMEMPAGES counter to mm_rss_stat to account for
shmem pages separately from MM_FILEPAGES.  The next patch will expose it
to userspace - this patch doesn't change the exported values yet, by
adding up MM_SHMEMPAGES to MM_FILEPAGES at places where MM_FILEPAGES was
used before.  The only user-visible change after this patch is the OOM
killer message that separates the reported "shmem-rss" from "file-rss".

Chen Jie a2b829d959 mm/oom_kill.c: avoid attempting to kill init sharing same memory
It's possible that an oom killed victim shares an ->mm with the init
process and thus oom_kill_process() would end up trying to kill init as
well.

This has been shown in practice:

	Out of memory: Kill process 9134 (init) score 3 or sacrifice child
	Killed process 9134 (init) total-vm:1868kB, anon-rss:84kB, file-rss:572kB
	Kill process 1 (init) sharing same memory
	...
	Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00000009

And this will result in a kernel panic.

If a process is forked by init and selected for oom kill while still
sharing init_mm, then it's likely this system is in a recoverable state.
However, it's better not to try to kill init and allow the machine to
panic due to unkillable processes.

Both "child->mm == mm" and "p->mm != mm" checks in oom_kill_process() are
wrong.  task->mm can be NULL if the task is the exited group leader.  This
means in particular that "kill sharing same memory" loop can miss a
process with a zombie leader which uses the same ->mm.

Note: the process_has_mm(child, p->mm) check is still not 100% correct,
p->mm can be NULL too.  This is minor, but probably deserves a fix or a
comment anyway.

Oleg Nesterov 0c1b2d783c mm/oom_kill: remove the wrong fatal_signal_pending() check in oom_kill_process()
The fatal_signal_pending() was added to suppress unnecessary "sharing same
memory" message, but it can't 100% help anyway because it can be
false-negative; SIGKILL can be already dequeued.

And worse, it can be false-positive due to exec or coredump.  exec is
mostly fine, but coredump is not.  It is possible that the group leader
has the pending SIGKILL because its sub-thread originated the coredump, in
this case we must not skip this process.

We could probably add the additional ->group_exit_task check but this
patch just removes the wrong check along with pr_info().

David Rientjes da39da3a54 mm, oom: remove task_lock protecting comm printing
The oom killer takes task_lock() in a couple of places solely to protect
printing the task's comm.

A process's comm, including current's comm, may change due to
/proc/pid/comm or PR_SET_NAME.

The comm will always be NULL-terminated, so the worst race scenario would
only be during update.  We can tolerate a comm being printed that is in
the middle of an update to avoid taking the lock.

Other locations in the kernel have already dropped task_lock() when
printing comm, so this is consistent.

Tetsuo Handa 880b768937 mm/oom_kill.c: fix potentially killing unrelated process
At the for_each_process() loop in oom_kill_process(), we are comparing
address of OOM victim's mm without holding a reference to that mm.  If
there are a lot of processes to compare or a lot of "Kill process %d (%s)
sharing same memory" messages to print, for_each_process() loop could take
very long time.

It is possible that meanwhile the OOM victim exits and releases its mm,
and then mm is allocated with the same address and assigned to some
unrelated process.  When we hit such race, the unrelated process will be
killed by error.  To make sure that the OOM victim's mm does not go away
until for_each_process() loop finishes, get a reference on the OOM
victim's mm before calling task_unlock(victim).

Tetsuo Handa 426fb5e72d mm/oom_kill.c: reverse the order of setting TIF_MEMDIE and sending SIGKILL
It was confirmed that a local unprivileged user can consume all memory
reserves and hang up that system using time lag between the OOM killer
sets TIF_MEMDIE on an OOM victim and sends SIGKILL to that victim, for
printk() inside for_each_process() loop at oom_kill_process() can consume
many seconds when there are many thread groups sharing the same memory.

Before starting oom-depleter process:

    Node 0 DMA: 3*4kB (UM) 6*8kB (U) 4*16kB (UEM) 0*32kB 0*64kB 1*128kB (M) 2*256kB (EM) 2*512kB (UE) 2*1024kB (EM) 1*2048kB (E) 1*4096kB (M) = 9980kB
    Node 0 DMA32: 31*4kB (UEM) 27*8kB (UE) 32*16kB (UE) 13*32kB (UE) 14*64kB (UM) 7*128kB (UM) 8*256kB (UM) 8*512kB (UM) 3*1024kB (U) 4*2048kB (UM) 362*4096kB (UM) = 1503220kB

As of invoking the OOM killer:

    Node 0 DMA: 11*4kB (UE) 8*8kB (UEM) 6*16kB (UE) 2*32kB (EM) 0*64kB 1*128kB (U) 3*256kB (UEM) 2*512kB (UE) 3*1024kB (UEM) 1*2048kB (U) 0*4096kB = 7308kB
    Node 0 DMA32: 1049*4kB (UEM) 507*8kB (UE) 151*16kB (UE) 53*32kB (UEM) 83*64kB (UEM) 52*128kB (EM) 25*256kB (UEM) 11*512kB (M) 6*1024kB (UM) 1*2048kB (M) 0*4096kB = 44556kB

Between the thread group leader got TIF_MEMDIE and receives SIGKILL:

    Node 0 DMA: 0*4kB 0*8kB 0*16kB 0*32kB 0*64kB 0*128kB 0*256kB 0*512kB 0*1024kB 0*2048kB 0*4096kB = 0kB
    Node 0 DMA32: 0*4kB 0*8kB 0*16kB 0*32kB 0*64kB 0*128kB 0*256kB 0*512kB 0*1024kB 0*2048kB 0*4096kB = 0kB

The oom-depleter's thread group leader which got TIF_MEMDIE started
memset() in user space after the OOM killer set TIF_MEMDIE, and it was
free to abuse ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS by TIF_MEMDIE for memset() in user space
until SIGKILL is delivered.  If SIGKILL is delivered before TIF_MEMDIE is
set, the oom-depleter can terminate without touching memory reserves.

Although the possibility of hitting this time lag is very small for 3.19
and earlier kernels because TIF_MEMDIE is set immediately before sending
SIGKILL, preemption or long interrupts (an extreme example is SysRq-t) can
step between and allow memory allocations which are not needed for
terminating the OOM victim.

Johannes Weiner dc56401fc9 mm: oom_kill: simplify OOM killer locking
The zonelist locking and the oom_sem are two overlapping locks that are
used to serialize global OOM killing against different things.

The historical zonelist locking serializes OOM kills from allocations with
overlapping zonelists against each other to prevent killing more tasks
than necessary in the same memory domain.  Only when neither tasklists nor
zonelists from two concurrent OOM kills overlap (tasks in separate memcgs
bound to separate nodes) are OOM kills allowed to execute in parallel.

The younger oom_sem is a read-write lock to serialize OOM killing against
the PM code trying to disable the OOM killer altogether.

However, the OOM killer is a fairly cold error path, there is really no
reason to optimize for highly performant and concurrent OOM kills.  And
the oom_sem is just flat-out redundant.

Replace both locking schemes with a single global mutex serializing OOM
kills regardless of context.

Johannes Weiner da51b14adb mm: oom_kill: remove unnecessary locking in exit_oom_victim()
Disabling the OOM killer needs to exclude allocators from entering, not
existing victims from exiting.

Right now the only waiter is suspend code, which achieves quiescence by
disabling the OOM killer.  But later on we want to add waits that hold
the lock instead to stop new victims from showing up.

Johannes Weiner c38f1025f2 mm: oom_kill: generalize OOM progress waitqueue
It turns out that the mechanism to wait for exiting OOM victims is less
generic than it looks: it won't issue wakeups unless the OOM killer is
disabled.

The reason this check was added was the thought that, since only the OOM
disabling code would wait on this queue, wakeup operations could be
saved when that specific consumer is known to be absent.

However, this is quite the handgrenade.  Later attempts to reuse the
waitqueue for other purposes will lead to completely unexpected bugs and
the failure mode will appear seemingly illogical.  Generally, providers
shouldn't make unnecessary assumptions about consumers.

This could have been replaced with waitqueue_active(), but it only saves
a few instructions in one of the coldest paths in the kernel.  Simply
remove it.

Johannes Weiner 16e951966f mm: oom_kill: clean up victim marking and exiting interfaces
Rename unmark_oom_victim() to exit_oom_victim().  Marking and unmarking
are related in functionality, but the interface is not symmetrical at
all: one is an internal OOM killer function used during the killing, the
other is for an OOM victim to signal its own death on exit later on.
This has locking implications, see follow-up changes.

While at it, rename mark_tsk_oom_victim() to mark_oom_victim(), which
is easier on the eye.

If kernel panics due to oom, caused by a cgroup reaching its limit, when
'compulsory panic_on_oom' is enabled, then we will only see that the OOM
happened because of "compulsory panic_on_oom is enabled" but this doesn't
tell the difference between mempolicy and memcg.  And dumping system wide
information is plain wrong and more confusing.  This patch provides the
information of the cgroup whose limit triggerred panic

Kirill A. Shutemov dc6c9a35b6 mm: account pmd page tables to the process
Dave noticed that unprivileged process can allocate significant amount of
memory -- >500 MiB on x86_64 -- and stay unnoticed by oom-killer and
memory cgroup.  The trick is to allocate a lot of PMD page tables.  Linux
kernel doesn't account PMD tables to the process, only PTE.

The use-cases below use few tricks to allocate a lot of PMD page tables
while keeping VmRSS and VmPTE low.  oom_score for the process will be 0.

	#include <errno.h>
	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <stdlib.h>
	#include <unistd.h>
	#include <sys/mman.h>
	#include <sys/prctl.h>

	#define PUD_SIZE (1UL << 30)
	#define PMD_SIZE (1UL << 21)

	#define NR_PUD 130000

	int main(void)
	{
		char *addr = NULL;
		unsigned long i;

		prctl(PR_SET_THP_DISABLE);
		for (i = 0; i < NR_PUD ; i++) {
			addr = mmap(addr + PUD_SIZE, PUD_SIZE, PROT_WRITE|PROT_READ,
					MAP_ANONYMOUS|MAP_PRIVATE, -1, 0);
			if (addr == MAP_FAILED) {
				perror("mmap");
				break;
			}
			*addr = 'x';
			munmap(addr, PMD_SIZE);
			mmap(addr, PMD_SIZE, PROT_WRITE|PROT_READ,
					MAP_ANONYMOUS|MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED, -1, 0);
			if (addr == MAP_FAILED)
				perror("re-mmap"), exit(1);
		}
		printf("PID %d consumed %lu KiB in PMD page tables\n",
				getpid(), i * 4096 >> 10);
		return pause();
	}

The patch addresses the issue by account PMD tables to the process the
same way we account PTE.

The main place where PMD tables is accounted is __pmd_alloc() and
free_pmd_range(). But there're few corner cases:

 - HugeTLB can share PMD page tables. The patch handles by accounting
   the table to all processes who share it.

 - x86 PAE pre-allocates few PMD tables on fork.

 - Architectures with FIRST_USER_ADDRESS > 0. We need to adjust sanity
   check on exit(2).

Accounting only happens on configuration where PMD page table's level is
present (PMD is not folded).  As with nr_ptes we use per-mm counter.  The
counter value is used to calculate baseline for badness score by
oom-killer.

Michal Hocko c32b3cbe0d oom, PM: make OOM detection in the freezer path raceless
Commit 5695be142e ("OOM, PM: OOM killed task shouldn't escape PM
suspend") has left a race window when OOM killer manages to
note_oom_kill after freeze_processes checks the counter.  The race
window is quite small and really unlikely and partial solution deemed
sufficient at the time of submission.

Tejun wasn't happy about this partial solution though and insisted on a
full solution.  That requires the full OOM and freezer's task freezing
exclusion, though.  This is done by this patch which introduces oom_sem
RW lock and turns oom_killer_disable() into a full OOM barrier.

oom_killer_disabled check is moved from the allocation path to the OOM
level and we take oom_sem for reading for both the check and the whole
OOM invocation.

oom_killer_disable() takes oom_sem for writing so it waits for all
currently running OOM killer invocations.  Then it disable all the further
OOMs by setting oom_killer_disabled and checks for any oom victims.
Victims are counted via mark_tsk_oom_victim resp.  unmark_oom_victim.  The
last victim wakes up all waiters enqueued by oom_killer_disable().
Therefore this function acts as the full OOM barrier.

The page fault path is covered now as well although it was assumed to be
safe before.  As per Tejun, "We used to have freezing points deep in file
system code which may be reacheable from page fault." so it would be
better and more robust to not rely on freezing points here.  Same applies
to the memcg OOM killer.

out_of_memory tells the caller whether the OOM was allowed to trigger and
the callers are supposed to handle the situation.  The page allocation
path simply fails the allocation same as before.  The page fault path will
retry the fault (more on that later) and Sysrq OOM trigger will simply
complain to the log.

Normally there wouldn't be any unfrozen user tasks after
try_to_freeze_tasks so the function will not block. But if there was an
OOM killer racing with try_to_freeze_tasks and the OOM victim didn't
finish yet then we have to wait for it. This should complete in a finite
time, though, because

	- the victim cannot loop in the page fault handler (it would die
	  on the way out from the exception)
	- it cannot loop in the page allocator because all the further
	  allocation would fail and __GFP_NOFAIL allocations are not
	  acceptable at this stage
	- it shouldn't be blocked on any locks held by frozen tasks
	  (try_to_freeze expects lockless context) and kernel threads and
	  work queues are not frozen yet

Michal Hocko 63a8ca9b20 oom: thaw the OOM victim if it is frozen
oom_kill_process only sets TIF_MEMDIE flag and sends a signal to the
victim.  This is basically noop when the task is frozen though because the
task sleeps in the uninterruptible sleep.  The victim is eventually thawed
later when oom_scan_process_thread meets the task again in a later OOM
invocation so the OOM killer doesn't live lock.  But this is less than
optimal.

Let's add __thaw_task into mark_tsk_oom_victim after we set TIF_MEMDIE to
the victim.  We are not checking whether the task is frozen because that
would be racy and __thaw_task does that already.  oom_scan_process_thread
doesn't need to care about freezer anymore as TIF_MEMDIE and freezer are
excluded completely now.
