From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx> syzbot has noticed that it can trigger RCU stalls from the memcg oom path: RIP: 0010:dump_stack+0x358/0x3ab lib/dump_stack.c:118 Code: 74 0c 48 c7 c7 f0 f5 31 89 e8 9f 0e 0e fa 48 83 3d 07 15 7d 01 00 0f 84 63 fe ff ff e8 1c 89 c9 f9 48 8b bd 70 ff ff ff 57 9d <0f> 1f 44 00 00 e8 09 89 c9 f9 48 8b 8d 68 ff ff ff b8 ff ff 37 00 RSP: 0018:ffff88017d3a5c70 EFLAGS: 00000246 ORIG_RAX: ffffffffffffff13 RAX: 0000000000040000 RBX: 1ffffffff1263ebe RCX: ffffc90001e5a000 RDX: 0000000000040000 RSI: ffffffff87b4e0f4 RDI: 0000000000000246 RBP: ffff88017d3a5d18 R08: ffff8801d7e02480 R09: fffffbfff13da030 R10: fffffbfff13da030 R11: 0000000000000003 R12: 1ffff1002fa74b96 R13: 00000000ffffffff R14: 0000000000000200 R15: 0000000000000000 dump_header+0x27b/0xf72 mm/oom_kill.c:441 out_of_memory.cold.30+0xf/0x184 mm/oom_kill.c:1109 mem_cgroup_out_of_memory+0x15e/0x210 mm/memcontrol.c:1386 mem_cgroup_oom mm/memcontrol.c:1701 [inline] try_charge+0xb7c/0x1710 mm/memcontrol.c:2260 mem_cgroup_try_charge+0x627/0xe20 mm/memcontrol.c:5892 mem_cgroup_try_charge_delay+0x1d/0xa0 mm/memcontrol.c:5907 shmem_getpage_gfp+0x186b/0x4840 mm/shmem.c:1784 shmem_fault+0x25f/0x960 mm/shmem.c:1982 __do_fault+0x100/0x6b0 mm/memory.c:2996 do_read_fault mm/memory.c:3408 [inline] do_fault mm/memory.c:3531 [inline] The primary reason of the stall lies in an expensive printk handling of oom report flood because a misconfiguration on the syzbot side caused that there is simply no eligible task because they have OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN set. This generates the oom report for each allocation from the memcg context. While normal workloads should be much more careful about potential heavy memory consumers that are OOM disabled it makes some sense to rate limit a potentially expensive oom reports for cases when there is no eligible victim found. Do that by moving the rate limit logic inside dump_header. We no longer rely on the caller to do that. It was only oom_kill_process which has been throttling. Other two call sites simply didn't have to care because one just paniced on the OOM when configured that way and no eligible task would panic for the global case as well. Memcg changed the picture because we do not panic and we might have multiple sources of the same event. Once we are here, make sure that the reason to trigger the OOM is printed without ratelimiting because this is really valuable to debug what happened.
