[PATCH 3/8] mm,oom: Use list of mm_struct used by OOM victims.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Currently, we walk process list in order to find existing TIF_MEMDIE
threads. But if we remember list of mm_struct used by TIF_MEMDIE threads,
we can avoid walking process list. Later patch in the series will change
OOM reaper to use list of mm_struct introduced by this patch.

Also, we can start using TIF_MEMDIE only for the access to memory reserves
to oom victims which actually need to allocate and decouple the current
double meaning. Later patch in the series will eliminate OOM_SCAN_ABORT
case and "struct signal_struct"->oom_victims because oom_has_pending_mm()
introduced by this patch can take that role.

It is theoretically possible that the number of elements on this list
grows as many as the number of configured memcg groups and
mempolicy/cpuset patterns. But in most cases, the OOM reaper will
immediately remove almost all elements in first OOM reap attempt.
Moreover, many of OOM events can be solved before the OOM reaper tries
to OOM reap that memory. Therefore, the average speed of removing
elements will be faster than the average speed of adding elements.
If delay caused by retrying specific element for one second before
trying other elements matters, we can do parallel OOM reaping.
