[PATCH 0/4] use up highorder free pages before OOM

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

 



I got OOM report from production team with v4.4 kernel.
It has enough free memory but failed to allocate order-0 page and
finally encounter OOM kill.
I could reproduce it with my test easily. Look at below.
The reason is free pages(19M) of DMA32 zone are reserved for
HIGHORDERATOMIC and doesn't unreserved before the OOM.

During the investigation, I found some problems with highatomic so
this patch aims to solve the problems and the final goal is to
unreserve every highatomic free pages before the OOM kill.

Patch 1 fixes accounting bug in several places of page allocators
Patch 2 fixes accounting bug caused by subtle race between freeing
function and unreserve_highatomic_pageblock.
Patch 3 changes unreseve scheme to use up every reserved pages
Patch 4 fixes accounting bug caused by mem_section shared by two zones.

Minchan Kim (4):
  mm: adjust reserved highatomic count
  mm: prevent double decrease of nr_reserved_highatomic
  mm: unreserve highatomic free pages fully before OOM
  mm: skip to reserve pageblock crossed zone boundary for HIGHATOMIC
