Commit 23047a96 ("mm: workingset: per-cgroup cache thrash detection") added a page->mem_cgroup lookup to the cache eviction, refault, and activation paths, as well as locking to the activation path, and the vm-scalability tests showed a regression of -23%. While the test in question is an artificial worst-case scenario that doesn't occur in real workloads - reading two sparse files in parallel at full CPU speed just to hammer the LRU paths - there is still some optimizations that can be done in those paths. Inline the lookup functions to eliminate calls. Also, page->mem_cgroup doesn't need to be stabilized when counting an activation; we merely need to hold the RCU lock to prevent the memcg from being freed. This cuts down on overhead quite a bit: 23047a96 063f6715e77a7be5770d6081fe ---------------- -------------------------- %stddev %change %stddev \ | \ 21621405 +- 0% +11.3% 24069657 +- 2% vm-scalability.throughput [linux@roeck-us.net: drop unnecessary include file] [hannes@cmpxchg.org: add WARN_ON_ONCE()s] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160707194024.GA26580@cmpxchg.org Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160624175101.GA3024@cmpxchg.orgReported-by: Ye Xiaolong <xiaolong.ye@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Vladimir Davydov <vdavydov@virtuozzo.com> Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

"mm, oom: fortify task_will_free_mem" has dropped task_lock around task_will_free_mem in oom_kill_process bacause it assumed that a potential race when the selected task exits will not be a problem as the oom_reaper will call exit_oom_victim. Tetsuo was objecting that nommu doesn't have oom_reaper so the race would be still possible. The code would be racy and lockup prone theoretically in other aspects without the oom reaper anyway so I didn't considered this a big deal. But it seems that further changes I am planning in this area will benefit from stable task->mm in this path as well. So let's drop find_lock_task_mm from task_will_free_mem and call it from under task_lock as we did previously. Just pull the task->mm != NULL check inside the function.

The only case where the oom_reaper is not triggered for the oom victim is when it shares the memory with a kernel thread (aka use_mm) or with the global init. After "mm, oom: skip vforked tasks from being selected" the victim cannot be a vforked task of the global init so we are left with clone(CLONE_VM) (without CLONE_SIGHAND). use_mm() users are quite rare as well. In order to help forward progress for the OOM killer, make sure that this really rare case will not get in the way - we do this by hiding the mm from the oom killer by setting MMF_OOM_REAPED flag for it. oom_scan_process_thread will ignore any TIF_MEMDIE task if it has MMF_OOM_REAPED flag set to catch these oom victims. After this patch we should guarantee forward progress for the OOM killer even when the selected victim is sharing memory with a kernel thread or global init as long as the victims mm is still alive.

oom_reaper relies on the mmap_sem for read to do its job. Many places which might block readers have been converted to use down_write_killable and that has reduced chances of the contention a lot. Some paths where the mmap_sem is held for write can take other locks and they might either be not prepared to fail due to fatal signal pending or too impractical to be changed. This patch introduces MMF_OOM_NOT_REAPABLE flag which gets set after the first attempt to reap a task's mm fails. If the flag is present after the failure then we set MMF_OOM_REAPED to hide this mm from the oom killer completely so it can go and chose another victim. As a result a risk of OOM deadlock when the oom victim would be blocked indefinetly and so the oom killer cannot make any progress should be mitigated considerably while we still try really hard to perform all reclaim attempts and stay predictable in the behavior.

task_will_free_mem is rather weak. It doesn't really tell whether the task has chance to drop its mm. 98748bd7 ("oom: consider multi-threaded tasks in task_will_free_mem") made a first step into making it more robust for multi-threaded applications so now we know that the whole process is going down and probably drop the mm. This patch builds on top for more complex scenarios where mm is shared between different processes - CLONE_VM without CLONE_SIGHAND, or in kernel use_mm(). Make sure that all processes sharing the mm are killed or exiting. This will allow us to replace try_oom_reaper by wake_oom_reaper because task_will_free_mem implies the task is reapable now. Therefore all paths which bypass the oom killer are now reapable and so they shouldn't lock up the oom killer.

Currently oom_kill_process skips both the oom reaper and SIG_KILL if a process sharing the same mm is unkillable via OOM_ADJUST_MIN. After "mm, oom_adj: make sure processes sharing mm have same view of oom_score_adj" all such processes are sharing the same value so we shouldn't see such a task at all (oom_badness would rule them out). We can still encounter oom disabled vforked task which has to be killed as well if we want to have other tasks sharing the mm reapable because it can access the memory before doing exec. Killing such a task should be acceptable because it is highly unlikely it has done anything useful because it cannot modify any memory before it calls exec. An alternative would be to keep the task alive and skip the oom reaper and risk all the weird corner cases where the OOM killer cannot make forward progress because the oom victim hung somewhere on the way to exit.

vforked tasks are not really sitting on any memory. They are sharing the mm with parent until they exec into a new code. Until then it is just pinning the address space. OOM killer will kill the vforked task along with its parent but we still can end up selecting vforked task when the parent wouldn't be selected. E.g. init doing vfork to launch a task or vforked being a child of oom unkillable task with an updated oom_score_adj to be killable. Add a new helper to check whether a task is in the vfork sharing memory with its parent and use it in oom_badness to skip over these tasks.

oom_score_adj is shared for the thread groups (via struct signal) but this is not sufficient to cover processes sharing mm (CLONE_VM without CLONE_SIGHAND) and so we can easily end up in a situation when some processes update their oom_score_adj and confuse the oom killer. In the worst case some of those processes might hide from the oom killer altogether via OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN while others are eligible. OOM killer would then pick up those eligible but won't be allowed to kill others sharing the same mm so the mm wouldn't release the mm and so the memory. It would be ideal to have the oom_score_adj per mm_struct because that is the natural entity OOM killer considers. But this will not work because some programs are doing vfork() set_oom_adj() exec() We can achieve the same though. oom_score_adj write handler can set the oom_score_adj for all processes sharing the same mm if the task is not in the middle of vfork. As a result all the processes will share the same oom_score_adj. The current implementation is rather pessimistic and checks all the existing processes by default if there is more than 1 holder of the mm but we do not have any reliable way to check for external users yet.

Currently we have two proc interfaces to set oom_score_adj. The legacy /proc/<pid>/oom_adj and /proc/<pid>/oom_score_adj which both have their specific handlers. Big part of the logic is duplicated so extract the common code into __set_oom_adj helper. Legacy knob still expects some details slightly different so make sure those are handled same way - e.g. the legacy mode ignores oom_score_adj_min and it warns about the usage. This patch shouldn't introduce any functional changes.

Oleg has pointed out that can simplify both oom_adj_{read,write} and oom_score_adj_{read,write} even further and drop the sighand lock. The main purpose of the lock was to protect p->signal from going away but this will not happen since ea6d290c ("signals: make task_struct->signal immutable/refcountable"). The other role of the lock was to synchronize different writers, especially those with CAP_SYS_RESOURCE. Introduce a mutex for this purpose. Later patches will need this lock anyway.

Series "Handle oom bypass more gracefully", V5 The following 10 patches should put some order to very rare cases of mm shared between processes and make the paths which bypass the oom killer oom reapable and therefore much more reliable finally. Even though mm shared outside of thread group is rare (either vforked tasks for a short period, use_mm by kernel threads or exotic thread model of clone(CLONE_VM) without CLONE_SIGHAND) it is better to cover them. Not only it makes the current oom killer logic quite hard to follow and reason about it can lead to weird corner cases. E.g. it is possible to select an oom victim which shares the mm with unkillable process or bypass the oom killer even when other processes sharing the mm are still alive and other weird cases. Patch 1 drops bogus task_lock and mm check from oom_{score_}adj_write. This can be considered a bug fix with a low impact as nobody has noticed for years. Patch 2 drops sighand lock because it is not needed anymore as pointed by Oleg. Patch 3 is a clean up of oom_score_adj handling and a preparatory work for later patches. Patch 4 enforces oom_adj_score to be consistent between processes sharing the mm to behave consistently with the regular thread groups. This can be considered a user visible behavior change because one thread group updating oom_score_adj will affect others which share the same mm via clone(CLONE_VM). I argue that this should be acceptable because we already have the same behavior for threads in the same thread group and sharing the mm without signal struct is just a different model of threading. This is probably the most controversial part of the series, I would like to find some consensus here. There were some suggestions to hook some counter/oom_score_adj into the mm_struct but I feel that this is not necessary right now and we can rely on proc handler + oom_kill_process to DTRT. I can be convinced otherwise but I strongly think that whatever we do the userspace has to have a way to see the current oom priority as consistently as possible. Patch 5 makes sure that no vforked task is selected if it is sharing the mm with oom unkillable task. Patch 6 ensures that all user tasks sharing the mm are killed which in turn makes sure that all oom victims are oom reapable. Patch 7 guarantees that task_will_free_mem will always imply reapable bypass of the oom killer. Patch 8 is new in this version and it addresses an issue pointed out by 0-day OOM report where an oom victim was reaped several times. Patch 9 puts an upper bound on how many times oom_reaper tries to reap a task and hides it from the oom killer to move on when no progress can be made. This will give an upper bound to how long an oom_reapable task can block the oom killer from selecting another victim if the oom_reaper is not able to reap the victim. Patch 10 tries to plug the (hopefully) last hole when we can still lock up when the oom victim is shared with oom unkillable tasks (kthreads and global init). We just try to be best effort in that case and rather fallback to kill something else than risk a lockup. This patch (of 10): Both oom_adj_write and oom_score_adj_write are using task_lock, check for task->mm and fail if it is NULL. This is not needed because the oom_score_adj is per signal struct so we do not need mm at all. The code has been introduced by 3d5992d2 ("oom: add per-mm oom disable count") but we do not do per-mm oom disable since c9f01245 ("oom: remove oom_disable_count"). The task->mm check is even not correct because the current thread might have exited but the thread group might be still alive - e.g. thread group leader would lead that echo $VAL > /proc/pid/oom_score_adj would always fail with EINVAL while /proc/pid/task/$other_tid/oom_score_adj would succeed. This is unexpected at best. Remove the lock along with the check to fix the unexpected behavior and also because there is not real need for the lock in the first place.

Some of our "for_each_xyz()" macro constructs make gcc unhappy about lack of braces around if-statements inside or outside the loop, because the loop construct itself has a "if-then-else" statement inside of it. The resulting warnings look something like this: drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_debugfs.c: In function ‘i915_dump_lrc’: drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_debugfs.c:2103:6: warning: suggest explicit braces to avoid ambiguous ‘else’ [-Wparentheses] if (ctx != dev_priv->kernel_context) ^ even if the code itself is fine. Since the warning is fairly easy to avoid by adding a braces around the if-statement near the for_each_xyz() construct, do so, rather than disabling the otherwise potentially useful warning. (The if-then-else statements used in the "for_each_xyz()" constructs are designed to be inherently safe even with no braces, but in this case it's quite understandable that gcc isn't really able to tell that). This finally leaves the standard "allmodconfig" build with just a handful of remaining warnings, so new and valid warnings hopefully will stand out.

Newer versions of gcc warn about the use of __builtin_return_address() with a non-zero argument when "-Wall" is specified: kernel/trace/trace_irqsoff.c: In function ‘stop_critical_timings’: kernel/trace/trace_irqsoff.c:433:86: warning: calling ‘__builtin_return_address’ with a nonzero argument is unsafe [-Wframe-address] stop_critical_timing(CALLER_ADDR0, CALLER_ADDR1); [ .. repeats a few times for other similar cases .. ] It is true that a non-zero argument is somewhat dangerous, and we do not actually have very many uses of that in the kernel - but the ftrace code does use it, and as Stephen Rostedt says: "We are well aware of the danger of using __builtin_return_address() of > 0. In fact that's part of the reason for having the "thunk" code in x86 (See arch/x86/entry/thunk_{64,32}.S). [..] it adds extra frames when tracking irqs off sections, to prevent __builtin_return_address() from accessing bad areas. In fact the thunk_32.S states: 'Trampoline to trace irqs off. (otherwise CALLER_ADDR1 might crash)'." For now, __builtin_return_address() with a non-zero argument is the best we can do, and the warning is not helpful and can end up making people miss other warnings for real problems. So disable the frame-address warning on compilers that need it. Acked-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Several build configurations had already disabled this warning because it generates a lot of false positives. But some had not, and it was still enabled for "allmodconfig" builds, for example. Looking at the warnings produced, every single one I looked at was a false positive, and the warnings are frequent enough (and big enough) that they can easily hide real problems that you don't notice in the noise generated by -Wmaybe-uninitialized. The warning is good in theory, but this is a classic case of a warning that causes more problems than the warning can solve. If gcc gets better at avoiding false positives, we may be able to re-enable this warning. But as is, we're better off without it, and I want to be able to see the *real* warnings.

There are a lot of other fixes and cleanups in the tree, but those are XFS internal things and none are of the scale or visibility of the iomap changes. See below for details.

Parameter trydefaults=1 causes the ipmi_init to initialize ipmi through the legacy port io space that was designated for ipmi. Architectures that do not map legacy port io can panic when trydefaults=1. Rather than implement build-time conditional exceptions for each architecture that does not map legacy port io, we have removed legacy port io from the driver. Parameter 'trydefaults' has been removed. Attempts to use it hereafter will evoke the "Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter" message. The patch was built against a number of architectures and tested for regressions and functionality on x86_64 and ARM64. Signed-off-by: Tony Camuso <tcamuso@redhat.com> Removed the config entry and the address source entry for default, since neither were used any more. Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard <cminyard@mvista.com>

The be2net driver performs fw temperature queries on be_worker() routine, which is executed each second for each be_adapter. There is a frequency threshold to avoid fw query to happens at each call to be_worker(); instead, currently a fw query occurs once in 64 runs of the procedure. Nevertheless, this fw temperature query is invoked only for adapters which interface is up, so we can see I/O errors on read of hwmon counters from userspace (from tools like lm-sensors) in case we have adapters' functions which interface is down. This patch moves the fw query code to be invoked even if interface is down. No functional changes were introduced. Signed-off-by: Guilherme G.
