memcg, oom: check memcg margin for parallel oom
Memcg oom killer invocation is synchronized by the global oom_lock and tasks are sleeping on the lock while somebody is selecting the victim or potentially race with the oom_reaper is releasing the victim's memory. This can result in a pointless oom killer invocation because a waiter might be racing with the oom_reaper P1 oom_reaper P2 oom_reap_task mutex_lock(oom_lock) out_of_memory # no victim because we have one already __oom_reap_task_mm mute_unlock(oom_lock) mutex_lock(oom_lock) set MMF_OOM_SKIP select_bad_process # finds a new victim The page allocator prevents from this race by trying to allocate after the lock can be acquired (in __alloc_pages_may_oom) which acts as a last minute check. Moreover page allocator simply doesn't block on the oom_lock and simply retries the whole reclaim process. Memcg oom killer should do the last minute check as well. Call mem_cgroup_margin to do that. Trylock on the oom_lock could be done as well but this doesn't seem to be necessary at this stage.
