Subject: [PATCH 5/5] mm, oom_reaper: implement OOM victims queuing
Date: Wed, 3 Feb 2016 14:14:00 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1454505240-23446-6-git-send-email-mhocko@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1454505240-23446-1-git-send-email-mhocko@kernel.org>
From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com>
wake_oom_reaper has allowed only 1 oom victim to be queued. The main
reason for that was the simplicity as other solutions would require
some way of queuing. The current approach is racy and that was deemed
sufficient as the oom_reaper is considered a best effort approach
to help with oom handling when the OOM victim cannot terminate in a
reasonable time. The race could lead to missing an oom victim which can
get stuck
out_of_memory
wake_oom_reaper
cmpxchg // OK
oom_reaper
oom_reap_task
__oom_reap_task
oom_victim terminates
atomic_inc_not_zero // fail
out_of_memory
wake_oom_reaper
cmpxchg // fails
task_to_reap = NULL
This race requires 2 OOM invocations in a short time period which is not
very likely but certainly not impossible. E.g. the original victim might
have not released a lot of memory for some reason.
The situation would improve considerably if wake_oom_reaper used a more
robust queuing. This is what this patch implements. This means adding
oom_reaper_list list_head into task_struct (eat a hole before embeded
thread_struct for that purpose) and a oom_reaper_lock spinlock for
queuing synchronization. wake_oom_reaper will then add the task on the
queue and oom_reaper will dequeue it.
