mm, oom: do not trigger out_of_memory from the #PF

2021-11-17T10:04:47+00:00

commit 60e2793d440a3ec95abb5d6d4fc034a4b480472d upstream. Any allocation failure during the #PF path will return with VM_FAULT_OOM which in turn results in pagefault_out_of_memory. This can happen for 2 different reasons. a) Memcg is out of memory and we rely on mem_cgroup_oom_synchronize to perform the memcg OOM handling or b) normal allocation fails. The latter is quite problematic because allocation paths already trigger out_of_memory and the page allocator tries really hard to not fail allocations. Anyway, if the OOM killer has been already invoked there is no reason to invoke it again from the #PF path. Especially when the OOM condition might be gone by that time and we have no way to find out other than allocate. Moreover if the allocation failed and the OOM killer hasn't been invoked then we are unlikely to do the right thing from the #PF context because we have already lost the allocation context and restictions and therefore might oom kill a task from a different NUMA domain. This all suggests that there is no legitimate reason to trigger out_of_memory from pagefault_out_of_memory so drop it. Just to be sure that no #PF path returns with VM_FAULT_OOM without allocation print a warning that this is happening before we restart the #PF. [VvS: #PF allocation can hit into limit of cgroup v1 kmem controller. This is a local problem related to memcg, however, it causes unnecessary global OOM kills that are repeated over and over again and escalate into a real disaster. This has been broken since kmem accounting has been introduced for cgroup v1 (3.8). There was no kmem specific reclaim for the separate limit so the only way to handle kmem hard limit was to return with ENOMEM. In upstream the problem will be fixed by removing the outdated kmem limit, however stable and LTS kernels cannot do it and are still affected. This patch fixes the problem and should be backported into stable/LTS.] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/f5fd8dd8-0ad4-c524-5f65-920b01972a42@virtuozzo.com Signed-off-by: Michal Hocko Signed-off-by: Vasily Averin Acked-by: Michal Hocko Cc: Johannes Weiner Cc: Mel Gorman Cc: Roman Gushchin Cc: Shakeel Butt Cc: Tetsuo Handa Cc: Uladzislau Rezki Cc: Vladimir Davydov Cc: Vlastimil Babka Cc: Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

mm, oom: pagefault_out_of_memory: don't force global OOM for dying tasks

2021-11-17T10:04:47+00:00

commit 0b28179a6138a5edd9d82ad2687c05b3773c387b upstream. Patch series "memcg: prohibit unconditional exceeding the limit of dying tasks", v3. Memory cgroup charging allows killed or exiting tasks to exceed the hard limit. It can be misused and allowed to trigger global OOM from inside a memcg-limited container. On the other hand if memcg fails allocation, called from inside #PF handler it triggers global OOM from inside pagefault_out_of_memory(). To prevent these problems this patchset: (a) removes execution of out_of_memory() from pagefault_out_of_memory(), becasue nobody can explain why it is necessary. (b) allow memcg to fail allocation of dying/killed tasks. This patch (of 3): Any allocation failure during the #PF path will return with VM_FAULT_OOM which in turn results in pagefault_out_of_memory which in turn executes out_out_memory() and can kill a random task. An allocation might fail when the current task is the oom victim and there are no memory reserves left. The OOM killer is already handled at the page allocator level for the global OOM and at the charging level for the memcg one. Both have much more information about the scope of allocation/charge request. This means that either the OOM killer has been invoked properly and didn't lead to the allocation success or it has been skipped because it couldn't have been invoked. In both cases triggering it from here is pointless and even harmful. It makes much more sense to let the killed task die rather than to wake up an eternally hungry oom-killer and send him to choose a fatter victim for breakfast.

mm/mempolicy: cleanup nodemask intersection check for oom

2021-07-01T03:47:29+00:00

Patch series "mm/mempolicy: some fix and semantics cleanup", v4. Current memory policy code has some confusing and ambiguous part about MPOL_LOCAL policy, as it is handled as a faked MPOL_PREFERRED one, and there are many places having to distinguish them. Also the nodemask intersection check needs cleanup to be more explicit for OOM use, and handle MPOL_INTERLEAVE correctly. This patchset cleans up these and unifies the parameter sanity check for mbind() and set_mempolicy(). This patch (of 3): mempolicy_nodemask_intersects seem to be a general purpose mempolicy function. In fact it is partially tailored for the OOM purpose instead. The oom proper is the only existing user so rename the function to make that purpose explicit. While at it drop the MPOL_INTERLEAVE as those allocations never has a nodemask defined (see alloc_page_interleave) so this is a dead code and a confusing one because MPOL_INTERLEAVE is a hint rather than a hard requirement so it shouldn't be considered during the OOM. The final code can be reduced to a check for MPOL_BIND which is the only memory policy that is a hard requirement and thus relevant to a constrained OOM logic.
