>From c57e3674efc609f8364f5e228a2c1309cfe99901 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roman Gushchin <guro@xxxxxx> Date: Tue, 23 May 2017 17:37:55 +0100 Subject: [PATCH v2] mm,oom: add tracepoints for oom reaper-related events During the debugging of the problem described in https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/5/17/542 and fixed by Tetsuo Handa in https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/5/19/383 , I've found that the existing debug output is not really useful to understand issues related to the oom reaper. So, I assume, that adding some tracepoints might help with debugging of similar issues. Trace the following events: 1) a process is marked as an oom victim, 2) a process is added to the oom reaper list, 3) the oom reaper starts reaping process's mm, 4) the oom reaper finished reaping, 5) the oom reaper skips reaping. How it works in practice? Below is an example which show how the problem mentioned above can be found: one process is added twice to the oom_reaper list: $ cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing $ echo "oom:mark_victim" > set_event $ echo "oom:wake_reaper" >> set_event $ echo "oom:skip_task_reaping" >> set_event $ echo "oom:start_task_reaping" >> set_event $ echo "oom:finish_task_reaping" >> set_event $ cat trace_pipe allocate-502 [001] .... 91.836405: mark_victim: pid=502 allocate-502 [001] .N.. 91.837356: wake_reaper: pid=502 allocate-502 [000] .N.. 91.871149: wake_reaper: pid=502 oom_reaper-23 [000] .... 91.871177: start_task_reaping: pid=502 oom_reaper-23 [000] .N.. 91.879511: finish_task_reaping: pid=502 oom_reaper-23 [000] .... 91.879580: skip_task_reaping: pid=502 Signed-off-by: Roman Gushchin <guro@xxxxxx> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx> Cc: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@xxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Vladimir Davydov <vdavydov.dev@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: kernel-team@xxxxxx Cc: linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: linux-mm@xxxxxxxxx --- include/trace/events/oom.h | 80 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ mm/oom_kill.c | 7 ++++ 2 files changed, 87 insertions(+) diff --git a/include/trace/events/oom.h b/include/trace/events/oom.h index 38baeb2..c3c19d4 100644 --- a/include/trace/events/oom.h +++ b/include/trace/events/oom.h @@ -70,6 +70,86 @@ TRACE_EVENT(reclaim_retry_zone, __entry->wmark_check) ); +TRACE_EVENT(mark_victim, + TP_PROTO(int pid), + + TP_ARGS(pid), + + TP_STRUCT__entry( + __field(int, pid) + ), + + TP_fast_assign( + __entry->pid = pid; + ), + + TP_printk("pid=%d", __entry->pid) +); + +TRACE_EVENT(wake_reaper, + TP_PROTO(int pid), + + TP_ARGS(pid), + + TP_STRUCT__entry( + __field(int, pid) + ), + + TP_fast_assign( + __entry->pid = pid; + ), + + TP_printk("pid=%d", __entry->pid) +); + +TRACE_EVENT(start_task_reaping, + TP_PROTO(int pid), + + TP_ARGS(pid), + + TP_STRUCT__entry( + __field(int, pid) + ), + + TP_fast_assign( + __entry->pid = pid; + ), + + TP_printk("pid=%d", __entry->pid) +); + +TRACE_EVENT(finish_task_reaping, + TP_PROTO(int pid), + + TP_ARGS(pid), + + TP_STRUCT__entry( + __field(int, pid) + ), + + TP_fast_assign( + __entry->pid = pid; + ), + + TP_printk("pid=%d", __entry->pid) +); + +TRACE_EVENT(skip_task_reaping, + TP_PROTO(int pid), + + TP_ARGS(pid), + + TP_STRUCT__entry( + __field(int, pid) + ), + + TP_fast_assign( + __entry->pid = pid; + ), + + TP_printk("pid=%d", __entry->pid) +); + #ifdef CONFIG_COMPACTION TRACE_EVENT(compact_retry, diff --git a/mm/oom_kill.c b/mm/oom_kill.c index 04c9143..409b685 100644 --- a/mm/oom_kill.c +++ b/mm/oom_kill.c @@ -490,6 +490,7 @@ static bool __oom_reap_task_mm(struct task_struct *tsk, struct mm_struct *mm) if (!down_read_trylock(&mm->mmap_sem)) { ret = false; + trace_skip_task_reaping(tsk->pid); goto unlock_oom; } @@ -500,9 +501,12 @@ static bool __oom_reap_task_mm(struct task_struct *tsk, struct mm_struct *mm) */ if (!mmget_not_zero(mm)) { up_read(&mm->mmap_sem); + trace_skip_task_reaping(tsk->pid); goto unlock_oom; } + trace_start_task_reaping(tsk->pid); + /* * Tell all users of get_user/copy_from_user etc... that the content * is no longer stable.
