[PATCH 06/10] mm/oom_debug: Add Select Vmalloc Entries Print

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

 



Add OOM Debug code to allow select vmalloc entries to be printed output
at the time of an OOM event. Listing some portion of the larger vmalloc
entries has proven useful in tracking memory usage during an OOM event
so the root cause of the event can be determined.

Configuring this OOM Debug Option (DEBUG_OOM_VMALLOC_SELECT_PRINT)
------------------------------------------------------------------
To configure this option it needs to be selected in the OOM Debugging
configure menu. The kernel configuration entry can be found in the
config at: Kernel hacking, Memory Debugging, OOM Debugging with the
DEBUG_OOM_VMALLOC_SELECT_PRINT config entry that configures this option.

Two dynamic OOM debug settings for this option: enable, tenthpercent
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The oom debugfs base directory is found at: /sys/kernel/debug/oom.
The oom debugfs for this option is: vmalloc_select_print_
and for select options there are two files, the enable file and
the tenthpercent file are the debugfs files.

Dynamic disable or re-enable this OOM Debug option
--------------------------------------------------
This option may be disabled or re-enabled using the debugfs entry for
this OOM debug option. The debugfs file to enable this entry is found
at: /sys/kernel/debug/oom/vmalloc_select_print_enabled where the enabled
file's value determines whether the facility is enabled or disabled.
A value of 1 is enabled (default) and a value of 0 is disabled.

Specifying the minimum entry size (0-1000) in the tenthpercent file
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Also for DEBUG_OOM_VMALLOC_SELECT_PRINT the number of vmalloc entries
printed can be adjusted. By default if the DEBUG_OOM_VMALLOC_SELECT_PRINT
config option is enabled only entries that use 1% or more of memory are
printed. This can be adjusted to be entries as small as 0% of memory
or as large as 100% of memory in which case only a summary line is
printed, as no vmalloc entry could possibly use 100% of memory.
Adjustments are made through the debugfs file found at:
/sys/kernel/debug/oom/vmalloc_select_print_tenthpercent
Entry values that are valid are 0 through 1000 which represent memory
usage of 0% of memory to 100% of memory. Only entries that are using
at least one page of memory are printed even if the minimum entry
size is specified as 0, zero page entries have no memory assigned.

Content of Vmalloc entry records and Vmalloc summary record
-----------------------------------------------------------
The output is vmalloc entry information output limited such that only
entries equal to or larger than the minimum size are printed.
Unused vmallocs (no pages assigned to the vmalloc) are never printed.
The vmalloc entry information includes:
  - Size (in bytes)
  - pages (Number pages in use)
  - Caller Information to identify the request

Additional output consists of summary information that is printed
at the end of the output. This summary information includes:
  - Number of Vmalloc entries examined
  - Number of Vmalloc entries printed
  - minimum entry size for selection

Sample Output
-------------
Output produced consists of one line of output for each vmalloc entry
that is equal to or larger than the minimum entry size specified
by the percent_totalpages_print_limit (0% to 100.0%) followed by
one line of summary output. There is also a section header output
line and a summary line that are printed.

Sample Vmalloc entries section header:

Aug 19 19:27:01 coronado kernel: Vmalloc Info:

Sample per entry selected print line output:

Jul 22 20:16:09 yoursystem kernel: Vmalloc size=2625536 pages=640
 caller=__do_sys_swapon+0x78e/0x1130

Sample summary print line output:

Jul 22 19:03:26 yoursystem kernel: Summary: Vmalloc entries examined:1070
 printed:989 minsize:0kB
