oom: badness heuristic rewrite 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.

mm, memcg: introduce own oom handler to iterate only over its own threads The global oom killer is serialized by the per-zonelist try_set_zonelist_oom() which is used in the page allocator. Concurrent oom kills are thus a rare event and only occur in systems using mempolicies and with a large number of nodes. Memory controller oom kills, however, can frequently be concurrent since there is no serialization once the oom killer is called for oom conditions in several different memcgs in parallel. This creates a massive contention on tasklist_lock since the oom killer requires the readside for the tasklist iteration. If several memcgs are calling the oom killer, this lock can be held for a substantial amount of time, especially if threads continue to enter it as other threads are exiting. Since the exit path grabs the writeside of the lock with irqs disabled in a few different places, this can cause a soft lockup on cpus as a result of tasklist_lock starvation. The kernel lacks unfair writelocks, and successful calls to the oom killer usually result in at least one thread entering the exit path, so an alternative solution is needed. This patch introduces a seperate oom handler for memcgs so that they do not require tasklist_lock for as much time. Instead, it iterates only over the threads attached to the oom memcg and grabs a reference to the selected thread before calling oom_kill_process() to ensure it doesn't prematurely exit. This still requires tasklist_lock for the tasklist dump, iterating children of the selected process, and killing all other threads on the system sharing the same memory as the selected victim. So while this isn't a complete solution to tasklist_lock starvation, it significantly reduces the amount of time that it is held.

oom: add helpers for setting and clearing TIF_MEMDIE This patchset addresses a race which was described in the changelog for 5695be142e20 ("OOM, PM: OOM killed task shouldn't escape PM suspend"): : PM freezer relies on having all tasks frozen by the time devices are : getting frozen so that no task will touch them while they are getting : frozen. But OOM killer is allowed to kill an already frozen task in order : to handle OOM situtation. In order to protect from late wake ups OOM : killer is disabled after all tasks are frozen. This, however, still keeps : a window open when a killed task didn't manage to die by the time : freeze_processes finishes. The original patch hasn't closed the race window completely because that would require a more complex solution as it can be seen by this patchset. The primary motivation was to close the race condition between OOM killer and PM freezer _completely_. As Tejun pointed out, even though the race condition is unlikely the harder it would be to debug weird bugs deep in the PM freezer when the debugging options are reduced considerably. I can only speculate what might happen when a task is still runnable unexpectedly. On a plus side and as a side effect the oom enable/disable has a better (full barrier) semantic without polluting hot paths. I have tested the series in KVM with 100M RAM: - many small tasks (20M anon mmap) which are triggering OOM continually - s2ram which resumes automatically is triggered in a loop echo processors > /sys/power/pm_test while true do echo mem > /sys/power/state sleep 1s done - simple module which allocates and frees 20M in 8K chunks. If it sees freezing(current) then it tries another round of allocation before calling try_to_freeze - debugging messages of PM stages and OOM killer enable/disable/fail added and unmark_oom_victim is delayed by 1s after it clears TIF_MEMDIE and before it wakes up waiters. - rebased on top of the current mmotm which means some necessary updates in mm/oom_kill.c. mark_tsk_oom_victim is now called under task_lock but I think this should be OK because __thaw_task shouldn't interfere with any locking down wake_up_process. Oleg? As expected there are no OOM killed tasks after oom is disabled and allocations requested by the kernel thread are failing after all the tasks are frozen and OOM disabled. I wasn't able to catch a race where oom_killer_disable would really have to wait but I kinda expected the race is really unlikely.

The first 2 patches are simple cleanups for OOM. They should go in regardless the rest IMO. Patches 3 and 4 are trivial printk -> pr_info conversion and they should go in ditto. The main patch is the last one and I would appreciate acks from Tejun and Rafael. I think the OOM part should be OK (except for __thaw_task vs. task_lock where a look from Oleg would appreciated) but I am not so sure I haven't screwed anything in the freezer code. I have found several surprises there. This patch (of 5): This patch is just a preparatory and it doesn't introduce any functional change. Note: I am utterly unhappy about lowmemory killer abusing TIF_MEMDIE just to wait for the oom victim and to prevent from new killing. This is just a side effect of the flag. The primary meaning is to give the oom victim access to the memory reserves and that shouldn't be necessary here.

OOM, PM: OOM killed task shouldn't escape PM suspend PM freezer relies on having all tasks frozen by the time devices are getting frozen so that no task will touch them while they are getting frozen. But OOM killer is allowed to kill an already frozen task in order to handle OOM situtation. In order to protect from late wake ups OOM killer is disabled after all tasks are frozen. This, however, still keeps a window open when a killed task didn't manage to die by the time freeze_processes finishes. Reduce the race window by checking all tasks after OOM killer has been disabled. This is still not race free completely unfortunately because oom_killer_disable cannot stop an already ongoing OOM killer so a task might still wake up from the fridge and get killed without freeze_processes noticing. Full synchronization of OOM and freezer is, however, too heavy weight for this highly unlikely case. Introduce and check oom_kills counter which gets incremented early when the allocator enters __alloc_pages_may_oom path and only check all the tasks if the counter changes during the freezing attempt. The counter is updated so early to reduce the race window since allocator checked oom_killer_disabled which is set by PM-freezing code. A false positive will push the PM-freezer into a slow path but that is not a big deal. Changes since v1 - push the re-check loop out of freeze_processes into check_frozen_processes and invert the condition to make the code more readable as per Rafael Fixes: f660daac474c6f (oom: thaw threads if oom killed thread is frozen before deferring) Cc: 3.2+ <stable@vger.kernel.org> # 3.2+ Signed-off-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

oom: clear TIF_MEMDIE after oom_reaper managed to unmap the address space When oom_reaper manages to unmap all the eligible vmas there shouldn't be much of the freable memory held by the oom victim left anymore so 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.

oom, PM: make OOM detection in the freezer path raceless Commit 5695be142e20 ("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 Signed-off-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Suggested-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Cc: Cong Wang <xiyou.wangcong@gmail.com> Cc: "Rafael J.
