* mm: revert "oom: move oom_adj value"KOSAKI Motohiro2009-08-181-25/+39
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The commit 2ff05b2b (oom: move oom_adj value) moveed the oom_adj value to the mm_struct. It was a very good first step for sanitize OOM. However Paul Menage reported the commit makes regression to his job scheduler. Current OOM logic can kill OOM_DISABLED process. Why? His program has the code of similar to the following. ... set_oom_adj(OOM_DISABLE); /* The job scheduler never killed by oom */ ... if (vfork() == 0) { set_oom_adj(0); /* Invoked child can be killed */ execve("foo-bar-cmd"); } .... vfork() parent and child are shared the same mm_struct. then above set_oom_adj(0) doesn't only change oom_adj for vfork() child, it's also change oom_adj for vfork() parent. Then, vfork() parent (job scheduler) lost OOM immune and it was killed. Actually, fork-setting-exec idiom is very frequently used in userland program. We must not break this assumption. Then, this patch revert commit 2ff05b2b and related commit.

* oom: only oom kill exiting tasks with attached memoryDavid Rientjes2009-06-161-5/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a task is chosen for oom kill and is found to be PF_EXITING, __oom_kill_task() is called to elevate the task's timeslice and give it access to memory reserves so that it may quickly exit. This privilege is unnecessary, however, if the task has already detached its mm. Although its possible for the mm to become detached later since task_lock() is not held, __oom_kill_task() will simply be a no-op in such circumstances. Subsequently, it is no longer necessary to warn about killing mm-less tasks since it is a no-op.

* oom: avoid unnecessary mm locking and scanning for OOM_DISABLEDavid Rientjes2009-06-161-32/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This moves the check for OOM_DISABLE to the badness heuristic so it is only necessary to hold task_lock() once. If the mm is OOM_DISABLE, the score is 0, which is also correctly exported via /proc/pid/oom_score. This requires that tasks with badness scores of 0 are prohibited from being oom killed, which makes sense since they would not allow for future memory freeing anyway. Since the oom_adj value is a characteristic of an mm and not a task, it is no longer necessary to check the oom_adj value for threads sharing the same memory (except when simply issuing SIGKILLs for threads in other thread groups).

* oom: move oom_adj value from task_struct to mm_structDavid Rientjes2009-06-161-12/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The per-task oom_adj value is a characteristic of its mm more than the task itself since it's not possible to oom kill any thread that shares the mm. If a task were to be killed while attached to an mm that could not be freed because another thread were set to OOM_DISABLE, it would have needlessly been terminated since there is no potential for future memory freeing. This patch moves oomkilladj (now more appropriately named oom_adj) from struct task_struct to struct mm_struct. This requires task_lock() on a task to check its oom_adj value to protect against exec, but it's already necessary to take the lock when dereferencing the mm to find the total VM size for the badness heuristic. This fixes a livelock if the oom killer chooses a task and another thread sharing the same memory has an oom_adj value of OOM_DISABLE. This occurs because oom_kill_task() repeatedly returns 1 and refuses to kill the chosen task while select_bad_process() will repeatedly choose the same task during the next retry. Taking task_lock() in select_bad_process() to check for OOM_DISABLE and in oom_kill_task() to check for threads sharing the same memory will be removed in the next patch in this series where it will no longer be necessary. Writing to /proc/pid/oom_adj for a kthread will now return -EINVAL since these threads are immune from oom killing already. They simply report an oom_adj value of OOM_DISABLE.

* oom: prevent livelock when oom_kill_allocating_task is setDavid Rientjes2009-05-061-23/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When /proc/sys/vm/oom_kill_allocating_task is set for large systems that want to avoid the lengthy tasklist scan, it's possible to livelock if current is ineligible for oom kill. This normally happens when it is set to OOM_DISABLE, but is also possible if any threads are sharing the same ->mm with a different tgid. So change __out_of_memory() to fall back to the full task-list scan if it was unable to kill `current'.

* memcg: avoid deadlock caused by race between oom and cpuset_attachDaisuke Nishimura2009-01-081-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | mpol_rebind_mm(), which can be called from cpuset_attach(), does down_write(mm->mmap_sem). This means down_write(mm->mmap_sem) can be called under cgroup_mutex. OTOH, page fault path does down_read(mm->mmap_sem) and calls mem_cgroup_try_charge_xxx(), which may eventually calls mem_cgroup_out_of_memory(). And mem_cgroup_out_of_memory() calls cgroup_lock(). This means cgroup_lock() can be called under down_read(mm->mmap_sem). If those two paths race, deadlock can happen. This patch avoid this deadlock by: - remove cgroup_lock() from mem_cgroup_out_of_memory(). - define new mutex (memcg_tasklist) and serialize mem_cgroup_move_task() (->attach handler of memory cgroup) and mem_cgroup_out_of_memory.

To avoid overkill, check memcg's recent behavior before starting system-wide-oom. And this patch also fixes to guarantee "don't accnout against process with TIF_MEMDIE".

* mm: invoke oom-killer from page faultNick Piggin2009-01-061-29/+65
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rather than have the pagefault handler kill a process directly if it gets a VM_FAULT_OOM, have it call into the OOM killer. With increasingly sophisticated oom behaviour (cpusets, memory cgroups, oom killing throttling, oom priority adjustment or selective disabling, panic on oom, etc), it's silly to unconditionally kill the faulting process at page fault time. Create a hook for pagefault oom path to call into instead. Only converted x86 and uml so far.

* security: Fix setting of PF_SUPERPRIV by __capable()David Howells2008-08-141-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix the setting of PF_SUPERPRIV by __capable() as it could corrupt the flags the target process if that is not the current process and it is trying to change its own flags in a different way at the same time. __capable() is using neither atomic ops nor locking to protect t->flags. This patch removes __capable() and introduces has_capability() that doesn't set PF_SUPERPRIV on the process being queried. This patch further splits security_ptrace() in two: (1) security_ptrace_may_access(). This passes judgement on whether one process may access another only (PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH for ptrace() and PTRACE_MODE_READ for /proc), and takes a pointer to the child process. current is the parent. (2) security_ptrace_traceme(). This passes judgement on PTRACE_TRACEME only, and takes only a pointer to the parent process. current is the child. In Smack and commoncap, this uses has_capability() to determine whether the parent will be permitted to use PTRACE_ATTACH if normal checks fail. This does not set PF_SUPERPRIV. Two of the instances of __capable() actually only act on current, and so have been changed to calls to capable(). Of the places that were using __capable(): (1) The OOM killer calls __capable() thrice when weighing the killability of a process. All of these now use has_capability(). (2) cap_ptrace() and smack_ptrace() were using __capable() to check to see whether the parent was allowed to trace any process. As mentioned above, these have been split. For PTRACE_ATTACH and /proc, capable() is now used, and for PTRACE_TRACEME, has_capability() is used. (3) cap_safe_nice() only ever saw current, so now uses capable(). (4) smack_setprocattr() rejected accesses to tasks other than current just after calling __capable(), so the order of these two tests have been switched and capable() is used instead. (5) In smack_file_send_sigiotask(), we need to allow privileged processes to receive SIGIO on files they're manipulating. (6) In smack_task_wait(), we let a process wait for a privileged process, whether or not the process doing the waiting is privileged. I've tested this with the LTP SELinux and syscalls testscripts.

* mm: have zonelist contains structs with both a zone pointer and zone_idxMel Gorman2008-04-281-23/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Filtering zonelists requires very frequent use of zone_idx(). This is costly as it involves a lookup of another structure and a substraction operation. As the zone_idx is often required, it should be quickly accessible. The node idx could also be stored here if it was found that accessing zone->node is significant which may be the case on workloads where nodemasks are heavily used. This patch introduces a struct zoneref to store a zone pointer and a zone index. The zonelist then consists of an array of these struct zonerefs which are looked up as necessary. Helpers are given for accessing the zone index as well as the node index.

Based on the zones allowed by a gfp mask, one of these zonelists is selected. All of these zonelists consume memory and occupy cache lines. This patch replaces the multiple zonelists per-node with two zonelists. The first contains all populated zones in the system, ordered by distance, for fallback allocations when the target/preferred node has no free pages. The second contains all populated zones in the node suitable for GFP_THISNODE allocations. An iterator macro is introduced called for_each_zone_zonelist() that interates through each zone allowed by the GFP flags in the selected zonelist.

* oom: add sysctl to enable task memory dumpDavid Rientjes2008-02-071-5/+44
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adds a new sysctl, 'oom_dump_tasks', that enables the kernel to produce a dump of all system tasks (excluding kernel threads) when performing an OOM-killing. Information includes pid, uid, tgid, vm size, rss, cpu, oom_adj score, and name. This is helpful for determining why there was an OOM condition and which rogue task caused it. It is configurable so that large systems, such as those with several thousand tasks, do not incur a performance penalty associated with dumping data they may not desire. If an OOM was triggered as a result of a memory controller, the tasklist shall be filtered to exclude tasks that are not a member of the same cgroup.

It should be excluded during the tasklist scan in select_bad_process() instead.

* oom_kill: remove uid==0 checksSerge E. Hallyn2008-02-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Root processes are considered more important when out of memory and killing proceses. The check for CAP_SYS_ADMIN was augmented with a check for uid==0 or euid==0. There are several possible ways to look at this: 1. uid comparisons are unnecessary, trust CAP_SYS_ADMIN alone. However CAP_SYS_RESOURCE is the one that really means "give me extra resources" so allow for that as well. 2. Any privileged code should be protected, but uid is not an indication of privilege. So we should check whether any capabilities are raised. 3. uid==0 makes processes on the host as well as in containers more important, so we should keep the existing checks. 4. uid==0 makes processes only on the host more important, even without any capabilities. So we should be keeping the (uid==0||euid==0) check but only when userns==&init_user_ns. I'm following number 1 here.

Also the pid and pgrp fields o task_struct and signal_struct are to be deprecated. Unfortunately this patch cannot be sent right now as this leads to tons of warnings, so start isolating them, and deprecate later. Actually the p->tgid == pid has to be changed to has_group_leader_pid(), but Oleg pointed out that in case of posix cpu timers this is the same, and thread_group_leader() is more preferable.

* pid namespaces: define is_global_init() and is_container_init()Serge E. Hallyn2007-10-191-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | is_init() is an ambiguous name for the pid==1 check. Split it into is_global_init() and is_container_init(). A cgroup init has it's tsk->pid == 1. A global init also has it's tsk->pid == 1 and it's active pid namespace is the init_pid_ns. But rather than check the active pid namespace, compare the task structure with 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper', which is initialized during boot to the /sbin/init process and never changes. Changelog: 2.6.22-rc4-mm2-pidns1: - Use 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper' to determine if a given task is the global init (/sbin/init) process. This would improve performance and remove dependence on the task_pid(). 2.6.21-mm2-pidns2: - [Sukadev Bhattiprolu] Changed is_container_init() calls in {powerpc, ppc,avr32}/traps.c for the _exception() call to is_global_init(). This way, we kill only the cgroup if the cgroup's init has a bug rather than force a kernel panic.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of testing for overlap in the memory nodes of the the nearest exclusive ancestor of both current and the candidate task, it is better to simply test for intersection between the task's mems_allowed in their task descriptors. This does not require taking callback_mutex since it is only used as a hint in the badness scoring. Tasks that do not have an intersection in their mems_allowed with the current task are not explicitly restricted from being OOM killed because it is quite possible that the candidate task has allocated memory there before and has since changed its mems_allowed.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | OOM killer synchronization should be done with zone granularity so that memory policy and cpuset allocations may have their corresponding zones locked and allow parallel kills for other OOM conditions that may exist elsewhere in the system. DMA allocations can be targeted at the zone level, which would not be possible if locking was done in nodes or globally. Synchronization shall be done with a variation of "trylocks." The goal is to put the current task to sleep and restart the failed allocation attempt later if the trylock fails. Otherwise, the OOM killer is invoked. Each zone in the zonelist that __alloc_pages() was called with is checked for the newly-introduced ZONE_OOM_LOCKED flag. If any zone has this flag present, the "trylock" to serialize the OOM killer fails and returns zero. Otherwise, all the zones have ZONE_OOM_LOCKED set and the try_set_zone_oom() function returns non-zero.

* oom: fix constraint deadlockDavid Rientjes2007-05-071-4/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes a deadlock in the OOM killer for allocations that are not __GFP_HARDWALL. Before the OOM killer checks for the allocation constraint, it takes callback_mutex. constrained_alloc() iterates through each zone in the allocation zonelist and calls cpuset_zone_allowed_softwall() to determine whether an allocation for gfp_mask is possible. If a zone's node is not in the OOM-triggering task's mems_allowed, it is not exiting, and we did not fail on a __GFP_HARDWALL allocation, cpuset_zone_allowed_softwall() attempts to take callback_mutex to check the nearest exclusive ancestor of current's cpuset. This results in deadlock. We now take callback_mutex after iterating through the zonelist since we don't need it yet.

* mm: fix handling of panic_on_oom when cpusets are in useYasunori Goto2007-05-071-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current panic_on_oom may not work if there is a process using cpusets/mempolicy, because other nodes' memory may remain. But some people want failover by panic ASAP even if they are used. This patch makes new setting for its request. This is tested on my ia64 box which has 3 nodes.
