Hi,
I found a deadlock problem about mmap_sem on RHEL6.1 kernel,
and I've not verified yet, the problem will still exist in latest kernel, IIUC.
- summary
I did a page migration test via cpuset I/F. I tried to move a process which
used too big memory for the destination cpuset.
The process and the "/bin/echo" are usually oom-killed successfully, but
the processe and khugepaged are sometimes stuck after the oom.
- detail
(On 8CPU, 4NODES(1GB/NODE), noswap system)
1. create a cpuset directories
[root@RHEL6 ~]# mkdir /cgroup/cpuset/src
[root@RHEL6 ~]# mkdir /cgroup/cpuset/dst
[root@RHEL6 ~]#
[root@RHEL6 ~]# echo 1-2,5-6 >/cgroup/cpuset/src/cpuset.cpus
[root@RHEL6 ~]# echo 3,7 >/cgroup/cpuset/dst/cpuset.cpus
[root@RHEL6 ~]#
[root@RHEL6 ~]# echo 1-2 >/cgroup/cpuset/src/cpuset.mems
[root@RHEL6 ~]# echo 3 >/cgroup/cpuset/dst/cpuset.mems
[root@RHEL6 ~]#
[root@RHEL6 ~]# echo 1 >/cgroup/cpuset/dst/cpuset.memory_migrate
2. register the shell to src(2NODES) directory
[root@RHEL6 ~]# echo $$ >/cgroup/cpuset/src/tasks
3. run a program which uses 1GB anonymous memory
[root@RHEL6 ~]# ~nishimura/c/malloc 1024
4. (In another terminal) move the process to dst(1NODES) directory
[root@RHEL6 ~]# /bin/echo `pidof malloc` >/cgroup/cpuset/dst/tasks
5. oom-killer killed "malloc", but both "malloc" and "khugepaged" are stuck.

And "echo" seems to be trying to allocate memory, calling out_of_memory() repeatedly.

So, I think what's happening is:
1. "echo" tries to allocate memory while it's holding(down_read) mmap_sem
of "malloc" at do_migrate_pages() and invokes oom-killer.
2. "malloc" is oom-killed and tries to exit.
3. Before "malloc" aquires(down_read) its mmap_sem, "khugepaged" tries to
aquire(down_write) the mmap_sem of "malloc", and fails.
4. Because "khugepaged" has been waiting the mmap_sem already, "malloc"
cannot aquire(down_read) the mmap_sem, so it cannot exit.
IOW, it cannot free its memory.
5. "echo" calls out_of_memory() repeatedly, but select_bad_process() returns
ERR_PTR(-1UL), so it doesn't do anything.
Any ideas how to fix this problem?
Thanks,
Daisuke Nishimura.
