2022-04-21oom_kill.c: futex: delay the OOM reaper to allow time for proper futex cleanupNico Pache1-14/+40
The pthread struct is allocated on PRIVATE|ANONYMOUS memory [1] which can be targeted by the oom reaper. This mapping is used to store the futex robust list head; the kernel does not keep a copy of the robust list and instead references a userspace address to maintain the robustness during a process death. A race can occur between exit_mm and the oom reaper that allows the oom reaper to free the memory of the futex robust list before the exit path has handled the futex death: CPU1 CPU2 -------------------------------------------------------------------- page_fault do_exit "signal" wake_oom_reaper oom_reaper oom_reap_task_mm (invalidates mm) exit_mm exit_mm_release futex_exit_release futex_cleanup exit_robust_list get_user (EFAULT- can't access memory) If the get_user EFAULT's, the kernel will be unable to recover the waiters on the robust_list, leaving userspace mutexes hung indefinitely. Delay the OOM reaper, allowing more time for the exit path to perform the futex cleanup. Reproducer: https://gitlab.com/jsavitz/oom_futex_reproducer Based on a patch by Michal Hocko.

2022-02-17mm/munlock: delete munlock_vma_pages_all(), allow oomreapHugh Dickins1-1/+1
munlock_vma_pages_range() will still be required, when munlocking but not munmapping a set of pages; but when unmapping a pte, the mlock count will be maintained in much the same way as it will be maintained when mapping in the pte. Which removes the need for munlock_vma_pages_all() on mlocked vmas when munmapping or exiting: eliminating the catastrophic contention on i_mmap_rwsem, and the need for page lock on the pages. There is still a need to update locked_vm accounting according to the munmapped vmas when munmapping: do that in detach_vmas_to_be_unmapped(). exit_mmap() does not need locked_vm updates, so delete unlock_range(). And wasn't I the one who forbade the OOM reaper to attack mlocked vmas, because of the uncertainty in blocking on all those page locks? No fear of that now, so permit the OOM reaper on mlocked vmas.

The end-game which I have not yet reached yet is for fatal signals that generate coredumps to be short-circuit deliverable from complete_signal, for force_siginfo_to_task not to require changing userspace configured signal delivery state, and for the ptrace stops to always happen in locations where we can guarantee on all architectures that the all of the registers are saved and available on the stack. Removal of profile_task_ext, profile_munmap, and profile_handoff_task are the big successes for dead code removal this round. A bunch of small bug fixes are included, as most of the issues reported were small enough that they would not affect bisection so I simply added the fixes and did not fold the fixes into the changes they were fixing. There was a bug that broke coredumps piped to systemd-coredump. I dropped the change that caused that bug and replaced it entirely with something much more restrained. Unfortunately that required some rebasing. Some successes after this set of changes: There are few enough calls to do_exit to audit in a reasonable amount of time.

2022-01-15mm, oom: OOM sysrq should always kill a processJann Horn1-1/+1
The OOM kill sysrq (alt+sysrq+F) should allow the user to kill the process with the highest OOM badness with a single execution. However, at the moment, the OOM kill can bail out if an OOM notifier (e.g. the i915 one) says that it reclaimed a tiny amount of memory from somewhere. That's probably not what the user wants, so skip the bailout if the OOM was triggered via sysrq.

2022-01-15mm/memcg: add oom_group_kill memory eventDan Schatzberg1-0/+1
Our container agent wants to know when a container exits if it was OOM killed or not to report to the user. We use memory.oom.group = 1 to ensure that OOM kills within the container's cgroup kill everything. Existing memory.events are insufficient for knowing if this triggered: 1) Our current approach reads memory.events oom_kill and reports the container was killed if the value is non-zero. This is erroneous in some cases where containers create their children cgroups with memory.oom.group=1 as such OOM kills will get counted against the container cgroup's oom_kill counter despite not actually OOM killing the entire container. 2) Reading memory.events.local will fail to identify OOM kills in leaf cgroups (that don't set memory.oom.group) within the container cgroup. This patch adds a new oom_group_kill event when memory.oom.group triggers to allow userspace to cleanly identify when an entire cgroup is oom killed.

The two most recent additions have probably been the ability to use pidfds in bpf maps and the usage of pidfds in mm-based syscalls such as process_mrelease() and process_madvise(). The same pattern to turn a pidfd into a struct task exists in two places. One of those places used PIDTYPE_TGID while the other one used PIDTYPE_PID even though it is clearly documented in all pidfd-helpers that pidfds __currently__ only refer to thread-group leaders (subject to change in the future if need be). This isn't a bug per se but has the potential to be one if we allow pidfds to refer to individual threads. If that happens we want to audit all codepaths that make use of them to ensure they can deal with pidfds refering to individual threads. This adds a simple helper to turn a pidfd into a struct task making it easy to grep for such places.

2021-11-06mm: mark the OOM reaper thread as freezableSultan Alsawaf1-0/+2
The OOM reaper alters user address space which might theoretically alter the snapshot if reaping is allowed to happen after the freezer quiescent state. To this end, the reaper kthread uses wait_event_freezable() while waiting for any work so that it cannot run while the system freezes. However, the current implementation doesn't respect the freezer because all kernel threads are created with the PF_NOFREEZE flag, so they are automatically excluded from freezing operations. This means that the OOM reaper can race with system snapshotting if it has work to do while the system is being frozen. Fix this by adding a set_freezable() call which will clear the PF_NOFREEZE flag and thus make the OOM reaper visible to the freezer. Please note that the OOM reaper altering the snapshot this way is mostly a theoretical concern and has not been observed in practice.

2021-11-06mm, oom: do not trigger out_of_memory from the #PFMichal Hocko1-14/+8
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 <mhocko@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Vasily Averin <vvs@virtuozzo.com> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Cc: Roman Gushchin <guro@fb.com> Cc: Shakeel Butt <shakeelb@google.com> Cc: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@i-love.sakura.ne.jp> Cc: Uladzislau Rezki <urezki@gmail.com> Cc: Vladimir Davydov <vdavydov.dev@gmail.com> Cc: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2021-11-06mm, oom: pagefault_out_of_memory: don't force global OOM for dying tasksVasily Averin1-0/+3
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.

This series of changes starts with ptrace_stop and cleans it up, making it easier to follow what is happening in ptrace_stop. Then cleans up the exec interactions with coredumps. Then cleans up the coredump interactions with exit. Finally the coredump interactions with the signal handling code is cleaned up. The first and last changes are bug fixes for minor bugs. I believe the fact that vfork followed by execve can kill the process the called vfork if exec fails is sufficient justification to change the userspace visible behavior. In previous discussions some of these changes were organized differently and individually appeared to make the code base worse. As currently written I believe they all stand on their own as cleanups and bug fixes. Which means that even if the worst should happen and the last change needs to be reverted for some unimaginable reason, the code base will still be improved. If the worst does not happen there are a more cleanups that can be made. Signals that generate coredumps can easily become eligible for short circuit delivery in complete_signal. The entire rendezvous for generating a coredump can move into get_signal. The function force_sig_info_to_task be written in a way that does not modify the signal handling state of the target task (because coredumps are eligible for short circuit delivery).

2021-10-28mm/oom_kill.c: prevent a race between process_mrelease and exit_mmapSuren Baghdasaryan1-11/+12
Race between process_mrelease and exit_mmap, where free_pgtables is called while __oom_reap_task_mm is in progress, leads to kernel crash during pte_offset_map_lock call. oom-reaper avoids this race by setting MMF_OOM_VICTIM flag and causing exit_mmap to take and release mmap_write_lock, blocking it until oom-reaper releases mmap_read_lock. Reusing MMF_OOM_VICTIM for process_mrelease would be the simplest way to fix this race, however that would be considered a hack. Fix this race by elevating mm->mm_users and preventing exit_mmap from executing until process_mrelease is finished. Patch slightly refactors the code to adapt for a possible mmget_not_zero failure. This fix has considerable negative impact on process_mrelease performance and will likely need later optimization.

2021-10-06coredump: Don't perform any cleanups before dumping coreEric W. Biederman1-1/+1
Rename coredump_exit_mm to coredump_task_exit and call it from do_exit before PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT, and before any cleanup work for a task happens. This ensures that an accurate copy of the process can be captured in the coredump as no cleanup for the process happens before the coredump completes. This also ensures that PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT will not be visited by any thread until the coredump is complete. Add a new flag PF_POSTCOREDUMP so that tasks that have passed through coredump_task_exit can be recognized and ignored in zap_process. Now that all of the coredumping happens before exit_mm remove code to test for a coredump in progress from mm_release. Replace "may_ptrace_stop()" with a simple test of "current->ptrace". The other tests in may_ptrace_stop all concern avoiding stopping during a coredump. These tests are no longer necessary as it is now guaranteed that fatal_signal_pending will be set if the code enters ptrace_stop during a coredump. The code in ptrace_stop is guaranteed not to stop if fatal_signal_pending returns true. Until this change "ptrace_event(PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT)" could call ptrace_stop without fatal_signal_pending being true, as signals are dequeued in get_signal before calling do_exit. This is no longer an issue as "ptrace_event(PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT)" is no longer reached until after the coredump completes.

2021-09-03mm: introduce process_mrelease system callSuren Baghdasaryan1-0/+70
In modern systems it's not unusual to have a system component monitoring memory conditions of the system and tasked with keeping system memory pressure under control. One way to accomplish that is to kill non-essential processes to free up memory for more important ones. Examples of this are Facebook's OOM killer daemon called oomd and Android's low memory killer daemon called lmkd. For such system component it's important to be able to free memory quickly and efficiently. Unfortunately the time process takes to free up its memory after receiving a SIGKILL might vary based on the state of the process (uninterruptible sleep), size and OPP level of the core the process is running. A mechanism to free resources of the target process in a more predictable way would improve system's ability to control its memory pressure. Introduce process_mrelease system call that releases memory of a dying process from the context of the caller. This way the memory is freed in a more controllable way with CPU affinity and priority of the caller. The workload of freeing the memory will also be charged to the caller. The operation is allowed only on a dying process. After previous discussions [1, 2, 3] the decision was made [4] to introduce a dedicated system call to cover this use case. The API is as follows, int process_mrelease(int pidfd, unsigned int flags); DESCRIPTION The process_mrelease() system call is used to free the memory of an exiting process. The pidfd selects the process referred to by the PID file descriptor. (See pidfd_open(2) for further information) The flags argument is reserved for future use; currently, this argument must be specified as 0. RETURN VALUE On success, process_mrelease() returns 0. On error, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error. ERRORS EBADF pidfd is not a valid PID file descriptor. EAGAIN Failed to release part of the address space. EINTR The call was interrupted by a signal; see signal(7). EINVAL flags is not 0. EINVAL The memory of the task cannot be released because the process is not exiting, the address space is shared with another live process or there is a core dump in progress. ENOSYS This system call is not supported, for example, without MMU support built into Linux. ESRCH The target process does not exist (i.e., it has terminated and been waited on).

2021-06-30mm/mempolicy: cleanup nodemask intersection check for oomFeng Tang1-1/+1
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.

2020-10-13mm, oom_adj: don't loop through tasks in __set_oom_adj when not necessarySuren Baghdasaryan1-0/+2
Currently __set_oom_adj loops through all processes in the system to keep oom_score_adj and oom_score_adj_min in sync between processes sharing their mm. This is done for any task with more that one mm_users, which includes processes with multiple threads (sharing mm and signals). However for such processes the loop is unnecessary because their signal structure is shared as well. Android updates oom_score_adj whenever a tasks changes its role (background/foreground/...) or binds to/unbinds from a service, making it more/less important. Such operation can happen frequently. We noticed that updates to oom_score_adj became more expensive and after further investigation found out that the patch mentioned in "Fixes" introduced a regression. Using Pixel 4 with a typical Android workload, write time to oom_score_adj increased from ~3.57us to ~362us. Moreover this regression linearly depends on the number of multi-threaded processes running on the system. Mark the mm with a new MMF_MULTIPROCESS flag bit when task is created with (CLONE_VM && !CLONE_THREAD && !CLONE_VFORK). Change __set_oom_adj to use MMF_MULTIPROCESS instead of mm_users to decide whether oom_score_adj update should be synchronized between multiple processes. To prevent races between clone() and __set_oom_adj(), when oom_score_adj of the process being cloned might be modified from userspace, we use oom_adj_mutex. Its scope is changed to global. The combination of (CLONE_VM && !CLONE_THREAD) is rarely used except for the case of vfork(). To prevent performance regressions of vfork(), we skip taking oom_adj_mutex and setting MMF_MULTIPROCESS when CLONE_VFORK is specified. Clearing the MMF_MULTIPROCESS flag (when the last process sharing the mm exits) is left out of this patch to keep it simple and because it is believed that this threading model is rare. Should there ever be a need for optimizing that case as well, it can be done by hooking into the exit path, likely following the mm_update_next_owner pattern. With the combination of (CLONE_VM && !CLONE_THREAD && !CLONE_VFORK) being quite rare, the regression is gone after the change is applied.

When the OOM killer finds a victim and tryies to kill it, if the victim is already exiting, the task mm will be NULL and no process will be killed. But the dump_header() has been already executed, so it will be strange to dump so much information without killing a process. We'd better show some helpful information to indicate why this happens.

2020-08-12mm, oom: make the calculation of oom badness more accurateYafang Shao1-12/+10
Recently we found an issue on our production environment that when memcg oom is triggered the oom killer doesn't chose the process with largest resident memory but chose the first scanned process. Note that all processes in this memcg have the same oom_score_adj, so the oom killer should chose the process with largest resident memory. Bellow is part of the oom info, which is enough to analyze this issue.

That is because, when we calculate the oom badness in oom_badness(), we always ignore the negtive point and convert all of these negtive points to 1. Now as oom_score_adj of all the processes in this targeted memcg have the same value -998, the points of these processes are all negtive value. As a result, the first scanned process will be killed. The oom_socre_adj (-998) in this memcg is set by kubelet, because it is a a Guaranteed pod, which has higher priority to prevent from being killed by system oom. To fix this issue, we should make the calculation of oom point more accurate. We can achieve it by convert the chosen_point from 'unsigned long' to 'long'.

2020-08-07mm: memcg: convert vmstat slab counters to bytesRoman Gushchin1-1/+1
In order to prepare for per-object slab memory accounting, convert NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE and NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE vmstat items to bytes. To make it obvious, rename them to NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE_B and NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE_B (similar to NR_KERNEL_STACK_KB). Internally global and per-node counters are stored in pages, however memcg and lruvec counters are stored in bytes. This scheme may look weird, but only for now. As soon as slab pages will be shared between multiple cgroups, global and node counters will reflect the total number of slab pages. However memcg and lruvec counters will be used for per-memcg slab memory tracking, which will take separate kernel objects in the account. Keeping global and node counters in pages helps to avoid additional overhead. The size of slab memory shouldn't exceed 4Gb on 32-bit machines, so it will fit into atomic_long_t we use for vmstats.

2019-09-25mm: introduce MADV_COLDMinchan Kim1-1/+1
Patch series "Introduce MADV_COLD and MADV_PAGEOUT", v7. - Background The Android terminology used for forking a new process and starting an app from scratch is a cold start, while resuming an existing app is a hot start. While we continually try to improve the performance of cold starts, hot starts will always be significantly less power hungry as well as faster so we are trying to make hot start more likely than cold start. To increase hot start, Android userspace manages the order that apps should be killed in a process called ActivityManagerService. ActivityManagerService tracks every Android app or service that the user could be interacting with at any time and translates that into a ranked list for lmkd(low memory killer daemon). They are likely to be killed by lmkd if the system has to reclaim memory. In that sense they are similar to entries in any other cache. Those apps are kept alive for opportunistic performance improvements but those performance improvements will vary based on the memory requirements of individual workloads. - Problem Naturally, cached apps were dominant consumers of memory on the system. However, they were not significant consumers of swap even though they are good candidate for swap. Under investigation, swapping out only begins once the low zone watermark is hit and kswapd wakes up, but the overall allocation rate in the system might trip lmkd thresholds and cause a cached process to be killed(we measured performance swapping out vs. zapping the memory by killing a process. Unsurprisingly, zapping is 10x times faster even though we use zram which is much faster than real storage) so kill from lmkd will often satisfy the high zone watermark, resulting in very few pages actually being moved to swap. - Approach The approach we chose was to use a new interface to allow userspace to proactively reclaim entire processes by leveraging platform information. This allowed us to bypass the inaccuracy of the kernel’s LRUs for pages that are known to be cold from userspace and to avoid races with lmkd by reclaiming apps as soon as they entered the cached state. Additionally, it could provide many chances for platform to use much information to optimize memory efficiency. To achieve the goal, the patchset introduce two new options for madvise. One is MADV_COLD which will deactivate activated pages and the other is MADV_PAGEOUT which will reclaim private pages instantly. These new options complement MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE by adding non-destructive ways to gain some free memory space. MADV_PAGEOUT is similar to MADV_DONTNEED in a way that it hints the kernel that memory region is not currently needed and should be reclaimed immediately; MADV_COLD is similar to MADV_FREE in a way that it hints the kernel that memory region is not currently needed and should be reclaimed when memory pressure rises. This patch (of 5): When a process expects no accesses to a certain memory range, it could give a hint to kernel that the pages can be reclaimed when memory pressure happens but data should be preserved for future use. This could reduce workingset eviction so it ends up increasing performance. This patch introduces the new MADV_COLD hint to madvise(2) syscall. MADV_COLD can be used by a process to mark a memory range as not expected to be used in the near future. The hint can help kernel in deciding which pages to evict early during memory pressure. It works for every LRU pages like MADV_[DONTNEED|FREE]. IOW, It moves active file page -> inactive file LRU active anon page -> inacdtive anon LRU Unlike MADV_FREE, it doesn't move active anonymous pages to inactive file LRU's head because MADV_COLD is a little bit different symantic. MADV_FREE means it's okay to discard when the memory pressure because the content of the page is *garbage* so freeing such pages is almost zero overhead since we don't need to swap out and access afterward causes just minor fault. Thus, it would make sense to put those freeable pages in inactive file LRU to compete other used-once pages. It makes sense for implmentaion point of view, too because it's not swapbacked memory any longer until it would be re-dirtied. Even, it could give a bonus to make them be reclaimed on swapless system. However, MADV_COLD doesn't mean garbage so reclaiming them requires swap-out/in in the end so it's bigger cost. Since we have designed VM LRU aging based on cost-model, anonymous cold pages would be better to position inactive anon's LRU list, not file LRU. Furthermore, it would help to avoid unnecessary scanning if system doesn't have a swap device. Let's start simpler way without adding complexity at this moment. However, keep in mind, too that it's a caveat that workloads with a lot of pages cache are likely to ignore MADV_COLD on anonymous memory because we rarely age anonymous LRU lists. * man-page material MADV_COLD (since Linux x.x) Pages in the specified regions will be treated as less-recently-accessed compared to pages in the system with similar access frequencies. In contrast to MADV_FREE, the contents of the region are preserved regardless of subsequent writes to pages. MADV_COLD cannot be applied to locked pages, Huge TLB pages, or VM_PFNMAP pages.

2019-09-24mm, oom: consider present pages for the node sizeMichal Hocko1-2/+2
constrained_alloc() calculates the size of the oom domain by using node_spanned_pages which is incorrect because this is the full range of the physical memory range that the numa node occupies rather than the memory that backs that range which is represented by node_present_pages. Sparsely populated nodes (e.g. after memory hot remove or simply sparse due to memory layout) can have really a large difference between the two. This shouldn't really cause any real user observable problems because the oom calculates a ratio against totalpages and used memory cannot exceed present pages but it is confusing and wrong from code point of view.

2019-09-24mm/oom: add oom_score_adj and pgtables to Killed process messageEdward Chron1-7/+7
For an OOM event: print oom_score_adj value for the OOM Killed process to document what the oom score adjust value was at the time the process was OOM Killed. The adjustment value can be set by user code and it affects the resulting oom_score so it is used to influence kill process selection. When eligible tasks are not printed (sysctl oom_dump_tasks = 0) printing this value is the only documentation of the value for the process being killed. Having this value on the Killed process message is useful to document if a miscconfiguration occurred or to confirm that the oom_score_adj configuration applies as expected. An example which illustates both misconfiguration and validation that the oom_score_adj was applied as expected is: Aug 14 23:00:02 testserver kernel: Out of memory: Killed process 2692 (systemd-udevd) total-vm:1056800kB, anon-rss:1052760kB, file-rss:4kB, shmem-rss:0kB pgtables:22kB oom_score_adj:1000 The systemd-udevd is a critical system application that should have an oom_score_adj of -1000. It was miconfigured to have a adjustment of 1000 making it a highly favored OOM kill target process. The output documents both the misconfiguration and the fact that the process was correctly targeted by OOM due to the miconfiguration. This can be quite helpful for triage and problem determination. The addition of the pgtables_bytes shows page table usage by the process and is a useful measure of the memory size of the process.

2019-09-24memcg, oom: don't require __GFP_FS when invoking memcg OOM killerTetsuo Handa1-2/+3
Masoud Sharbiani noticed that commit 29ef680ae7c21110 ("memcg, oom: move out_of_memory back to the charge path") broke memcg OOM called from __xfs_filemap_fault() path. It turned out that try_charge() is retrying forever without making forward progress because mem_cgroup_oom(GFP_NOFS) cannot invoke the OOM killer due to commit 3da88fb3bacfaa33 ("mm, oom: move GFP_NOFS check to out_of_memory"). Allowing forced charge due to being unable to invoke memcg OOM killer will lead to global OOM situation. Also, just returning -ENOMEM will be risky because OOM path is lost and some paths (e.g. get_user_pages()) will leak -ENOMEM. Therefore, invoking memcg OOM killer (despite GFP_NOFS) will be the only choice we can choose for now. Until 29ef680ae7c21110, we were able to invoke memcg OOM killer when GFP_KERNEL reclaim failed [1]. But since 29ef680ae7c21110, we need to invoke memcg OOM killer when GFP_NOFS reclaim failed [2]. Although in the past we did invoke memcg OOM killer for GFP_NOFS [3], we might get pre-mature memcg OOM reports due to this patch.

2019-09-24mm/oom_kill.c: add task UID to info message on an oom killJoel Savitz1-2/+3
In the event of an oom kill, useful information about the killed process is printed to dmesg. Users, especially system administrators, will find it useful to immediately see the UID of the process. We already print uid when dumping eligible tasks so it is not overly hard to find that information in the oom report. However this information is unavailable when dumping of eligible tasks is disabled. In the following example, abuse_the_ram is the name of a program that attempts to iteratively allocate all available memory until it is stopped by force.
