      mm, vmscan: prevent kswapd livelock due to pfmemalloc-throttled process being killed · 9e5e3661
      Vlastimil Babka authored
      Charles Shirron and Paul Cassella from Cray Inc have reported kswapd
      stuck in a busy loop with nothing left to balance, but
      kswapd_try_to_sleep() failing to sleep.  Their analysis found the cause
      to be a combination of several factors:
      
      1. A process is waiting in throttle_direct_reclaim() on pgdat->pfmemalloc_wait
      
      2. The process has been killed (by OOM in this case), but has not yet been
         scheduled to remove itself from the waitqueue and die.
      
      3. kswapd checks for throttled processes in prepare_kswapd_sleep():
      
              if (waitqueue_active(&pgdat->pfmemalloc_wait)) {
                      wake_up(&pgdat->pfmemalloc_wait);
      		return false; // kswapd will not go to sleep
      	}
      
         However, for a process that was already killed, wake_up() does not remove
         the process from the waitqueue, since try_to_wake_up() checks its state
         first and returns false when the process is no longer waiting.
      
      4. kswapd is running on the same CPU as the only CPU that the process is
         allowed to run on (through cpus_allowed, or possibly single-cpu system).
      
      5. CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y kernel is used. If there's nothing to balance, kswapd
         encounters no voluntary preemption points and repeatedly fails
         prepare_kswapd_sleep(), blocking the process from running and removing
         itself from the waitqueue, which would let kswapd sleep.
      
      So, the source of the problem is that we prevent kswapd from going to
      sleep until there are processes waiting on the pfmemalloc_wait queue,
      and a process waiting on a queue is guaranteed to be removed from the
      queue only when it gets scheduled.  This was done to make sure that no
      process is left sleeping on pfmemalloc_wait when kswapd itself goes to
      sleep.
      
      However, it isn't necessary to postpone kswapd sleep until the
      pfmemalloc_wait queue actually empties.  To prevent processes from being
      left sleeping, it's actually enough to guarantee that all processes
      waiting on pfmemalloc_wait queue have been woken up by the time we put
      kswapd to sleep.
      
      This patch therefore fixes this issue by substituting 'wake_up' with
      'wake_up_all' and removing 'return false' in the code snippet from
      prepare_kswapd_sleep() above.  Note that if any process puts itself in
      the queue after this waitqueue_active() check, or after the wake up
      itself, it means that the process will also wake up kswapd - and since
      we are under prepare_to_wait(), the wake up won't be missed.  Also we
      update the comment prepare_kswapd_sleep() to hopefully more clearly
      describe the races it is preventing.

      memcg: fix destination cgroup leak on task charges migration · 4bdfc1c4
      Vladimir Davydov authored
      We are supposed to take one css reference per each memory page and per
      each swap entry accounted to a memory cgroup.  However, during task
      charges migration we take a reference to the destination cgroup twice
      per each swap entry: first in mem_cgroup_do_precharge()->try_charge()
      and then in mem_cgroup_move_swap_account(), permanently leaking the
      destination cgroup.
      
      The hunk taking the second reference seems to be a leftover from the
      pre-00501b53 ("mm: memcontrol: rewrite charge API") era.  Remove it
      to fix the leak.
