2012-01-10tracepoint: add tracepoints for debugging oom_score_adjKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki1-0/+6
oom_score_adj is used for guarding processes from OOM-Killer. One of problem is that it's inherited at fork(). When a daemon set oom_score_adj and make children, it's hard to know where the value is set. This patch adds some tracepoints useful for debugging. This patch adds 3 trace points. - creating new task - renaming a task (exec) - set oom_score_adj To debug, users need to enable some trace pointer. Maybe filtering is useful as # EVENT=/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/task/ # echo "oom_score_adj != 0" > $EVENT/task_newtask/filter # echo "oom_score_adj != 0" > $EVENT/task_rename/filter # echo 1 > $EVENT/enable # EVENT=/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/oom/ # echo 1 > $EVENT/enable output will be like this. # grep oom /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace bash-7699 [007] d..3 5140.744510: oom_score_adj_update: pid=7699 comm=bash oom_score_adj=-1000 bash-7699 [007] ...1 5151.818022: task_newtask: pid=7729 comm=bash clone_flags=1200011 oom_score_adj=-1000 ls-7729 [003] ...2 5151.818504: task_rename: pid=7729 oldcomm=bash newcomm=ls oom_score_adj=-1000 bash-7699 [002] ...1 5175.701468: task_newtask: pid=7730 comm=bash clone_flags=1200011 oom_score_adj=-1000 grep-7730 [007] ...2 5175.701993: task_rename: pid=7730 oldcomm=bash newcomm=grep oom_score_adj=-1000 Signed-off-by: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Acked-by: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2011-12-20oom: fix integer overflow of points in oom_badnessFrantisek Hrbata1-1/+1
An integer overflow will happen on 64bit archs if task's sum of rss, swapents and nr_ptes exceeds (2^31)/1000 value. This was introduced by commit f755a04 oom: use pte pages in OOM score where the oom score computation was divided into several steps and it's no longer computed as one expression in unsigned long(rss, swapents, nr_pte are unsigned long), where the result value assigned to points(int) is in range(1..1000). So there could be an int overflow while computing 176 points *= 1000; and points may have negative value. Meaning the oom score for a mem hog task will be one. 196 if (points <= 0) 197 return 1; For example: [ 3366] 0 3366 35390480 24303939 5 0 0 oom01 Out of memory: Kill process 3366 (oom01) score 1 or sacrifice child Here the oom1 process consumes more than 24303939(rss)*4096~=92GB physical memory, but it's oom score is one. In this situation the mem hog task is skipped and oom killer kills another and most probably innocent task with oom score greater than one. The points variable should be of type long instead of int to prevent the int overflow.

2011-11-15oom: do not kill tasks with oom_score_adj OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MINMichal Hocko1-0/+5
Commit c9f01245 ("oom: remove oom_disable_count") has removed the oom_disable_count counter which has been used for early break out from oom_badness so we could never select a task with oom_score_adj set to OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN (oom disabled). Now that the counter is gone we are always going through heuristics calculation and we always return a non zero positive value. This means that we can end up killing a task with OOM disabled because it is indistinguishable from regular tasks with 1% resp. CAP_SYS_ADMIN tasks with 3% usage of memory or tasks with oom_score_adj set but OOM enabled. Let's break out early if the task should have OOM disabled.

2011-10-31oom: fix race while temporarily setting current's oom_score_adjDavid Rientjes1-0/+19
test_set_oom_score_adj() was introduced in 72788c385604 ("oom: replace PF_OOM_ORIGIN with toggling oom_score_adj") to temporarily elevate current's oom_score_adj for ksm and swapoff without requiring an additional per-process flag. Using that function to both set oom_score_adj to OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX and then reinstate the previous value is racy since it's possible that userspace can set the value to something else itself before the old value is reinstated. That results in userspace setting current's oom_score_adj to a different value and then the kernel immediately setting it back to its previous value without notification. To fix this, a new compare_swap_oom_score_adj() function is introduced with the same semantics as the compare and swap CAS instruction, or CMPXCHG on x86. It is used to reinstate the previous value of oom_score_adj if and only if the present value is the same as the old value.

2011-10-31oom: remove oom_disable_countDavid Rientjes1-18/+5
This removes mm->oom_disable_count entirely since it's unnecessary and currently buggy. The counter was intended to be per-process but it's currently decremented in the exit path for each thread that exits, causing it to underflow. The count was originally intended to prevent oom killing threads that share memory with threads that cannot be killed since it doesn't lead to future memory freeing. The counter could be fixed to represent all threads sharing the same mm, but it's better to remove the count since: - it is possible that the OOM_DISABLE thread sharing memory with the victim is waiting on that thread to exit and will actually cause future memory freeing, and - there is no guarantee that a thread is disabled from oom killing just because another thread sharing its mm is oom disabled.

2011-10-31oom: avoid killing kthreads if they assume the oom killed thread's mmDavid Rientjes1-2/+3
After selecting a task to kill, the oom killer iterates all processes and kills all other threads that share the same mm_struct in different thread groups. It would not otherwise be helpful to kill a thread if its memory would not be subsequently freed. A kernel thread, however, may assume a user thread's mm by using use_mm(). This is only temporary and should not result in sending a SIGKILL to that kthread. This patch ensures that only user threads and not kthreads are sent a SIGKILL if they share the same mm_struct as the oom killed task.

2011-08-01oom: task->mm == NULL doesn't mean the memory was freedOleg Nesterov1-1/+3
exit_mm() sets ->mm == NULL then it does mmput()->exit_mmap() which frees the memory. However select_bad_process() checks ->mm != NULL before TIF_MEMDIE, so it continues to kill other tasks even if we have the oom-killed task freeing its memory. Change select_bad_process() to check ->mm after TIF_MEMDIE, but skip the tasks which have already passed exit_notify() to ensure a zombie with TIF_MEMDIE set can't block oom-killer. Alternatively we could probably clear TIF_MEMDIE after exit_mmap().

2011-05-25oom: replace PF_OOM_ORIGIN with toggling oom_score_adjDavid Rientjes1-9/+27
There's a kernel-wide shortage of per-process flags, so it's always helpful to trim one when possible without incurring a significant penalty. It's even more important when you're planning on adding a per- process flag yourself, which I plan to do shortly for transparent hugepages. PF_OOM_ORIGIN is used by ksm and swapoff to prefer current since it has a tendency to allocate large amounts of memory and should be preferred for killing over other tasks. We'd rather immediately kill the task making the errant syscall rather than penalizing an innocent task. This patch removes PF_OOM_ORIGIN since its behavior is equivalent to setting the process's oom_score_adj to OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX. The process's old oom_score_adj is stored and then set to OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX during the time it used to have PF_OOM_ORIGIN. The old value is then reinstated when the process should no longer be considered a high priority for oom killing.

2011-04-14oom-kill: remove boost_dying_task_prio()KOSAKI Motohiro1-28/+0
This is an almost-revert of commit 93b43fa ("oom: give the dying task a higher priority"). That commit dramatically improved oom killer logic when a fork-bomb occurs. But I've found that it has nasty corner case. Now cpu cgroup has strange default RT runtime. It's 0! That said, if a process under cpu cgroup promote RT scheduling class, the process never run at all. If an admin inserts a !RT process into a cpu cgroup by setting rtruntime=0, usually it runs perfectly because a !RT task isn't affected by the rtruntime knob. But if it promotes an RT task via an explicit setscheduler() syscall or an OOM, the task can't run at all. In short, the oom killer doesn't work at all if admins are using cpu cgroup and don't touch the rtruntime knob. Eventually, kernel may hang up when oom kill occur.

When a memcg is oom and current has already received a SIGKILL, then give it access to memory reserves with a higher scheduling priority so that it may quickly exit and free its memory. This is identical to the global oom killer and is done even before checking for panic_on_oom: a pending SIGKILL here while panic_on_oom is selected is guaranteed to have come from userspace; the thread only needs access to memory reserves to exit and thus we don't unnecessarily panic the machine until the kernel has no last resort to free memory.

2011-03-22oom: suppress nodes that are not allowed from meminfo on oom killDavid Rientjes1-1/+1
The oom killer is extremely verbose for machines with a large number of cpus and/or nodes. This verbosity can often be harmful if it causes other important messages to be scrolled from the kernel log and incurs a signicant time delay, specifically for kernels with CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT > 8. This patch causes only memory information to be displayed for nodes that are allowed by current's cpuset when dumping the VM state. Information for all other nodes is irrelevant to the oom condition; we don't care if there's an abundance of memory elsewhere if we can't access it. This only affects the behavior of dumping memory information when an oom is triggered. Other dumps, such as for sysrq+m, still display the unfiltered form when using the existing show_mem() interface. Additionally, the per-cpu pageset statistics are extremely verbose in oom killer output, so it is now suppressed. This removes nodes_weight(current->mems_allowed) * (1 + nr_cpus) lines from the oom killer output. Callers may use __show_mem(SHOW_MEM_FILTER_NODES) to filter disallowed nodes.

2011-03-22oom: avoid deferring oom killer if exiting task is being tracedDavid Rientjes1-15/+25
The oom killer naturally defers killing anything if it finds an eligible task that is already exiting and has yet to detach its ->mm. This avoids unnecessarily killing tasks when one is already in the exit path and may free enough memory that the oom killer is no longer needed. This is detected by PF_EXITING since threads that have already detached its ->mm are no longer considered at all. The problem with always deferring when a thread is PF_EXITING, however, is that it may never actually exit when being traced, specifically if another task is tracing it with PTRACE_O_TRACEEXIT. The oom killer does not want to defer in this case since there is no guarantee that thread will ever exit without intervention. This patch will now only defer the oom killer when a thread is PF_EXITING and no ptracer has stopped its progress in the exit path. It also ensures that a child is sacrificed for the chosen parent only if it has a different ->mm as the comment implies: this ensures that the thread group leader is always targeted appropriately.

2011-03-22oom: prevent unnecessary oom kills or kernel panicsDavid Rientjes1-4/+4
This patch prevents unnecessary oom kills or kernel panics by reverting two commits: 495789a5 (oom: make oom_score to per-process value) cef1d352 (oom: multi threaded process coredump don't make deadlock) First, 495789a5 (oom: make oom_score to per-process value) ignores the fact that all threads in a thread group do not necessarily exit at the same time. It is imperative that select_bad_process() detect threads that are in the exit path, specifically those with PF_EXITING set, to prevent needlessly killing additional tasks. If a process is oom killed and the thread group leader exits, select_bad_process() cannot detect the other threads that are PF_EXITING by iterating over only processes. Thus, it currently chooses another task unnecessarily for oom kill or panics the machine when nothing else is eligible. By iterating over threads instead, it is possible to detect threads that are exiting and nominate them for oom kill so they get access to memory reserves. Second, cef1d352 (oom: multi threaded process coredump don't make deadlock) erroneously avoids making the oom killer a no-op when an eligible thread other than current isfound to be exiting. We want to detect this situation so that we may allow that exiting thread time to exit and free its memory; if it is able to exit on its own, that should free memory so current is no loner oom. If it is not able to exit on its own, the oom killer will nominate it for oom kill which, in this case, only means it will get access to memory reserves. Without this change, it is easy for the oom killer to unnecessarily target tasks when all threads of a victim don't exit before the thread group leader or, in the worst case, panic the machine.

2011-03-14oom: oom_kill_process: fix the child_points logicOleg Nesterov1-3/+8
oom_kill_process() starts with victim_points == 0. This means that (most likely) any child has more points and can be killed erroneously. Also, "children has a different mm" doesn't match the reality, we should check child->mm != t->mm. This check is not exactly correct if t->mm == NULL but this doesn't really matter, oom_kill_task() will kill them anyway. Note: "Kill all processes sharing p->mm" in oom_kill_task() is wrong too.

2010-10-26oom: kill all threads sharing oom killed task's mmDavid Rientjes1-0/+24
It's necessary to kill all threads that share an oom killed task's mm if the goal is to lead to future memory freeing. This patch reintroduces the code removed in 8c5cd6f3 (oom: oom_kill doesn't kill vfork parent (or child)) since it is obsoleted. It's now guaranteed that any task passed to oom_kill_task() does not share an mm with any thread that is unkillable. Thus, we're safe to issue a SIGKILL to any thread sharing the same mm. This is especially necessary to solve an mm->mmap_sem livelock issue whereas an oom killed thread must acquire the lock in the exit path while another thread is holding it in the page allocator while trying to allocate memory itself (and will preempt the oom killer since a task was already killed). Since tasks with pending fatal signals are now granted access to memory reserves, the thread holding the lock may quickly allocate and release the lock so that the oom killed task may exit. This mainly is for threads that are cloned with CLONE_VM but not CLONE_THREAD, so they are in a different thread group. Non-NPTL threads exist in the wild and this change is necessary to prevent the livelock in such cases. We care more about preventing the livelock than incurring the additional tasklist in the oom killer when a task has been killed. Systems that are sufficiently large to not want the tasklist scan in the oom killer in the first place already have the option of enabling /proc/sys/vm/oom_kill_allocating_task, which was designed specifically for that purpose. This code had existed in the oom killer for over eight years dating back to the 2.4 kernel.

2010-10-26oom: avoid killing a task if a thread sharing its mm cannot be killedDavid Rientjes1-4/+5
The oom killer's goal is to kill a memory-hogging task so that it may exit, free its memory, and allow the current context to allocate the memory that triggered it in the first place. Thus, killing a task is pointless if other threads sharing its mm cannot be killed because of its /proc/pid/oom_adj or /proc/pid/oom_score_adj value. This patch checks whether any other thread sharing p->mm has an oom_score_adj of OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN. If so, the thread cannot be killed and oom_badness(p) returns 0, meaning it's unkillable.

2010-09-22oom: filter unkillable tasks from tasklist dumpDavid Rientjes1-21/+19
/proc/sys/vm/oom_dump_tasks is enabled by default, so it's necessary to limit as much information as possible that it should emit. The tasklist dump should be filtered to only those tasks that are eligible for oom kill. This is already done for memcg ooms, but this patch extends it to both cpuset and mempolicy ooms as well as init. In addition to suppressing irrelevant information, this also reduces confusion since users currently don't know which tasks in the tasklist aren't eligible for kill (such as those attached to cpusets or bound to mempolicies with a disjoint set of mems or nodes, respectively) since that information is not shown.

2010-09-22oom: always return a badness score of non-zero for eligible tasksDavid Rientjes1-2/+7
A task's badness score is roughly a proportion of its rss and swap compared to the system's capacity. The scale ranges from 0 to 1000 with the highest score chosen for kill. Thus, this scale operates on a resolution of 0.1% of RAM + swap. Admin tasks are also given a 3% bonus, so the badness score of an admin task using 3% of memory, for example, would still be 0. It's possible that an exceptionally large number of tasks will combine to exhaust all resources but never have a single task that uses more than 0.1% of RAM and swap (or 3.0% for admin tasks). This patch ensures that the badness score of any eligible task is never 0 so the machine doesn't unnecessarily panic because it cannot find a task to kill.

2010-08-09oom: badness heuristic rewriteDavid Rientjes1-148/+111
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.

2010-08-09oom: give the dying task a higher priorityLuis Claudio R. Goncalves1-3/+31
In a system under heavy load it was observed that even after the oom-killer selects a task to die, the task may take a long time to die. Right after sending a SIGKILL to the task selected by the oom-killer this task has its priority increased so that it can exit() soon, freeing memory. That is accomplished by: /* * We give our sacrificial lamb high priority and access to * all the memory it needs. That way it should be able to * exit() and clear out its resources quickly... */ p->rt.time_slice = HZ; set_tsk_thread_flag(p, TIF_MEMDIE); It sounds plausible giving the dying task an even higher priority to be sure it will be scheduled sooner and free the desired memory. It was suggested on LKML using SCHED_FIFO:1, the lowest RT priority so that this task won't interfere with any running RT task. If the dying task is already an RT task, leave it untouched. Another good suggestion, implemented here, was to avoid boosting the dying task priority in case of mem_cgroup OOM. Signed-off-by: Luis Claudio R.
