mm, oom: fix use-after-free in oom_kill_process

2019-02-06T16:27:44+00:00

commit cefc7ef3c87d02fc9307835868ff721ea12cc597 upstream. Syzbot instance running on upstream kernel found a use-after-free bug in oom_kill_process. On further inspection it seems like the process selected to be oom-killed has exited even before reaching read_lock(&tasklist_lock) in oom_kill_process(). More specifically the tsk->usage is 1 which is due to get_task_struct() in oom_evaluate_task() and the put_task_struct within for_each_thread() frees the tsk and for_each_thread() tries to access the tsk. The easiest fix is to do get/put across the for_each_thread() on the selected task. Now the next question is should we continue with the oom-kill as the previously selected task has exited? However before adding more complexity and heuristics, let's answer why we even look at the children of oom-kill selected task? The select_bad_process() has already selected the worst process in the system/memcg. Due to race, the selected process might not be the worst at the kill time but does that matter? The userspace can use the oom_score_adj interface to prefer children to be killed before the parent. I looked at the history but it seems like this is there before git history.

oom, oom_reaper: do not enqueue same task twice

2019-02-06T16:27:44+00:00

commit 9bcdeb51bd7d2ae9fe65ea4d60643d2aeef5bfe3 upstream. Arkadiusz reported that enabling memcg's group oom killing causes strange memcg statistics where there is no task in a memcg despite the number of tasks in that memcg is not 0. It turned out that there is a bug in wake_oom_reaper() which allows enqueuing same task twice which makes impossible to decrease the number of tasks in that memcg due to a refcount leak. This bug existed since the OOM reaper became invokable from task_will_free_mem(current) path in out_of_memory() in Linux 4.7, T1@P1 |T2@P1 |T3@P1 |OOM reaper ----------+----------+----------+------------ # Processing an OOM victim in a different memcg domain. try_charge() mem_cgroup_out_of_memory() mutex_lock(&oom_lock) try_charge() mem_cgroup_out_of_memory() mutex_lock(&oom_lock) try_charge() mem_cgroup_out_of_memory() mutex_lock(&oom_lock) out_of_memory() oom_kill_process(P1) do_send_sig_info(SIGKILL, @P1) mark_oom_victim(T1@P1) wake_oom_reaper(T1@P1) # T1@P1 is enqueued. mutex_unlock(&oom_lock) out_of_memory() mark_oom_victim(T2@P1) wake_oom_reaper(T2@P1) # T2@P1 is enqueued. mutex_unlock(&oom_lock) out_of_memory() mark_oom_victim(T1@P1) wake_oom_reaper(T1@P1) # T1@P1 is enqueued again due to oom_reaper_list == T2@P1 && T1@P1->oom_reaper_list == NULL. mutex_unlock(&oom_lock) # Completed processing an OOM victim in a different memcg domain. spin_lock(&oom_reaper_lock) # T1P1 is dequeued. spin_unlock(&oom_reaper_lock) but memcg's group oom killing made it easier to trigger this bug by calling wake_oom_reaper() on the same task from one out_of_memory() request. Fix this bug using an approach used by commit 855b018325737f76 ("oom, oom_reaper: disable oom_reaper for oom_kill_allocating_task"). As a side effect of this patch, this patch also avoids enqueuing multiple threads sharing memory via task_will_free_mem(current) path.

2018-10-24T10:22:39+00:00

Pull siginfo updates from Eric Biederman: "I have been slowly sorting out siginfo and this is the culmination of that work. The primary result is in several ways the signal infrastructure has been made less error prone. The code has been updated so that manually specifying SEND_SIG_FORCED is never necessary. The conversion to the new siginfo sending functions is now complete, which makes it difficult to send a signal without filling in the proper siginfo fields. At the tail end of the patchset comes the optimization of decreasing the size of struct siginfo in the kernel from 128 bytes to about 48 bytes on 64bit. The fundamental observation that enables this is by definition none of the known ways to use struct siginfo uses the extra bytes. This comes at the cost of a small user space observable difference. For the rare case of siginfo being injected into the kernel only what can be copied into kernel_siginfo is delivered to the destination, the rest of the bytes are set to 0. For cases where the signal and the si_code are known this is safe, because we know those bytes are not used. For cases where the signal and si_code combination is unknown the bits that won't fit into struct kernel_siginfo are tested to verify they are zero, and the send fails if they are not. I made an extensive search through userspace code and I could not find anything that would break because of the above change. If it turns out I did break something it will take just the revert of a single change to restore kernel_siginfo to the same size as userspace siginfo. Testing did reveal dependencies on preferring the signo passed to sigqueueinfo over si->signo, so bit the bullet and added the complexity necessary to handle that case. Testing also revealed bad things can happen if a negative signal number is passed into the system calls. Something no sane application will do but something a malicious program or a fuzzer might do. So I have fixed the code that performs the bounds checks to ensure negative signal numbers are handled" * 'siginfo-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: (80 commits) signal: Guard against negative signal numbers in copy_siginfo_from_user32 signal: Guard against negative signal numbers in copy_siginfo_from_user signal: In sigqueueinfo prefer sig not si_signo signal: Use a smaller struct siginfo in the kernel signal: Distinguish between kernel_siginfo and siginfo signal: Introduce copy_siginfo_from_user and use it's return value signal: Remove the need for __ARCH_SI_PREABLE_SIZE and SI_PAD_SIZE signal: Fail sigqueueinfo if si_signo != sig signal/sparc: Move EMT_TAGOVF into the generic siginfo.h signal/unicore32: Use force_sig_fault where appropriate signal/unicore32: Generate siginfo in ucs32_notify_die signal/unicore32: Use send_sig_fault where appropriate signal/arc: Use force_sig_fault where appropriate signal/arc: Push siginfo generation into unhandled_exception signal/ia64: Use force_sig_fault where appropriate signal/ia64: Use the force_sig(SIGSEGV,...) in ia64_rt_sigreturn signal/ia64: Use the generic force_sigsegv in setup_frame signal/arm/kvm: Use send_sig_mceerr signal/arm: Use send_sig_fault where appropriate signal/arm: Use force_sig_fault where appropriate ...

signal: Use SEND_SIG_PRIV not SEND_SIG_FORCED with SIGKILL and SIGSTOP

2018-09-11T19:19:35+00:00

Now that siginfo is never allocated for SIGKILL and SIGSTOP there is no difference between SEND_SIG_PRIV and SEND_SIG_FORCED for SIGKILL and SIGSTOP. This makes SEND_SIG_FORCED unnecessary and redundant in the presence of SIGKILL and SIGSTOP. Therefore change users of SEND_SIG_FORCED that are sending SIGKILL or SIGSTOP to use SEND_SIG_PRIV instead. This removes the last users of SEND_SIG_FORCED.

mm, oom: fix missing tlb_finish_mmu() in __oom_reap_task_mm().

2018-09-04T23:45:02+00:00

Commit 93065ac753e4 ("mm, oom: distinguish blockable mode for mmu notifiers") has added an ability to skip over vmas with blockable mmu notifiers. This however didn't call tlb_finish_mmu as it should. As a result inc_tlb_flush_pending has been called without its pairing dec_tlb_flush_pending and all callers mm_tlb_flush_pending would flush even though this is not really needed. This alone is not harmful and it seems there shouldn't be any such callers for oom victims at all but there is no real reason to skip tlb_finish_mmu on early skip either so call it.

mm: memcontrol: print proper OOM header when no eligible victim left

2018-09-04T23:45:02+00:00

When the memcg OOM killer runs out of killable tasks, it currently prints a WARN with no further OOM context. This has caused some user confusion. Warnings indicate a kernel problem. In a reported case, however, the situation was triggered by a nonsensical memcg configuration (hard limit set to 0). But without any VM context this wasn't obvious from the report, and it took some back and forth on the mailing list to identify what is actually a trivial issue. Handle this OOM condition like we handle it in the global OOM killer: dump the full OOM context and tell the user we ran out of tasks. This way the user can identify misconfigurations easily by themselves and rectify the problem - without having to go through the hassle of running into an obscure but unsettling warning, finding the appropriate kernel mailing list and waiting for a kernel developer to remote-analyze that the memcg configuration caused this. If users cannot make sense of why the OOM killer was triggered or why it failed, they will still report it to the mailing list, we know that from experience. So in case there is an actual kernel bug causing this, kernel developers will very likely hear about it.

mm, oom: introduce memory.oom.group

2018-08-22T17:52:45+00:00

For some workloads an intervention from the OOM killer can be painful. Killing a random task can bring the workload into an inconsistent state. Historically, there are two common solutions for this problem: 1) enabling panic_on_oom, 2) using a userspace daemon to monitor OOMs and kill all outstanding processes. Both approaches have their downsides: rebooting on each OOM is an obvious waste of capacity, and handling all in userspace is tricky and requires a userspace agent, which will monitor all cgroups for OOMs. In most cases an in-kernel after-OOM cleaning-up mechanism can eliminate the necessity of enabling panic_on_oom. Also, it can simplify the cgroup management for userspace applications. This commit introduces a new knob for cgroup v2 memory controller: memory.oom.group. The knob determines whether the cgroup should be treated as an indivisible workload by the OOM killer. If set, all tasks belonging to the cgroup or to its descendants (if the memory cgroup is not a leaf cgroup) are killed together or not at all. To determine which cgroup has to be killed, we do traverse the cgroup hierarchy from the victim task's cgroup up to the OOMing cgroup (or root) and looking for the highest-level cgroup with memory.oom.group set. Tasks with the OOM protection (oom_score_adj set to -1000) are treated as an exception and are never killed. This patch doesn't change the OOM victim selection algorithm.

mm, oom: refactor oom_kill_process()

2018-08-22T17:52:45+00:00

Patch series "introduce memory.oom.group", v2. This is a tiny implementation of cgroup-aware OOM killer, which adds an ability to kill a cgroup as a single unit and so guarantee the integrity of the workload. Although it has only a limited functionality in comparison to what now resides in the mm tree (it doesn't change the victim task selection algorithm, doesn't look at memory stas on cgroup level, etc), it's also much simpler and more straightforward. So, hopefully, we can avoid having long debates here, as we had with the full implementation. As it doesn't prevent any futher development, and implements an useful and complete feature, it looks as a sane way forward. This patch (of 2): oom_kill_process() consists of two logical parts: the first one is responsible for considering task's children as a potential victim and printing the debug information. The second half is responsible for sending SIGKILL to all tasks sharing the mm struct with the given victim. This commit splits oom_kill_process() with an intention to re-use the the second half: __oom_kill_process(). The cgroup-aware OOM killer will kill multiple tasks belonging to the victim cgroup. We don't need to print the debug information for the each task, as well as play with task selection (considering task's children), so we can't use the existing oom_kill_process().

mm/oom_kill.c: clean up oom_reap_task_mm()

2018-08-22T17:52:44+00:00

Andrew has noticed some inconsistencies in oom_reap_task_mm. Notably - Undocumented return value. - comment "failed to reap part..." is misleading - sounds like it's referring to something which happened in the past, is in fact referring to something which might happen in the future. - fails to call trace_finish_task_reaping() in one case - code duplication. - Increases mmap_sem hold time a little by moving trace_finish_task_reaping() inside the locked region. So sue me ;) - Sharing the finish: path means that the trace event won't distinguish between the two sources of finishing. Add a short explanation for the return value and fix the rest by reorganizing the function a bit to have unified function exit paths.
