Following the example at mm/slub.c, add out-of-memory diagnostics to the SLAB allocator to help on debugging certain OOM conditions. An example print out looks like this: <snip page allocator out-of-memory message> SLAB: Unable to allocate memory on node 0 (gfp=0x11200) cache: bio-0, object size: 192, order: 0 node 0: slabs: 3/3, objs: 60/60, free: 0 Signed-off-by: Rafael Aquini <aquini@xxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Rik van Riel <riel@xxxxxxxxxx> --- v2: * drop the sysctl knob to override __GFP_NOWARN allocation flag (Pekka, David) v3: * adjust the print output to match slub's warning printout (WANG Cong) mm/slab.c | 51 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 1 files changed, 50 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/mm/slab.c b/mm/slab.c index f0bd785..cda1ff6 100644 --- a/mm/slab.c +++ b/mm/slab.c @@ -1731,6 +1731,52 @@ static int __init cpucache_init(void) } __initcall(cpucache_init); +static noinline void +slab_out_of_memory(struct kmem_cache *cachep, gfp_t gfpflags, int nodeid) +{ + struct kmem_list3 *l3; + struct slab *slabp; + unsigned long flags; + int node; + + printk(KERN_WARNING + "SLAB: Unable to allocate memory on node %d (gfp=0x%x)\n", + nodeid, gfpflags); + printk(KERN_WARNING " cache: %s, object size: %d, order: %d\n", + cachep->name, cachep->buffer_size, cachep->gfporder); + + for_each_online_node(node) { + unsigned long active_objs = 0, num_objs = 0, free_objects = 0; + unsigned long active_slabs = 0, num_slabs = 0; + + l3 = cachep->nodelists[node]; + if (!l3) + continue; + + spin_lock_irqsave(&l3->list_lock, flags); + list_for_each_entry(slabp, &l3->slabs_full, list) { + active_objs += cachep->num; + active_slabs++; + } + list_for_each_entry(slabp, &l3->slabs_partial, list) { + active_objs += slabp->inuse; + active_slabs++; + } + list_for_each_entry(slabp, &l3->slabs_free, list) + num_slabs++; + + free_objects += l3->free_objects; + spin_unlock_irqrestore(&l3->list_lock, flags); + + num_slabs += active_slabs; + num_objs = num_slabs * cachep->num; + printk(KERN_WARNING + " node %d: slabs: %ld/%ld, objs: %ld/%ld, free: %ld\n", + node, active_slabs, num_slabs, active_objs, num_objs, + free_objects); + } +} + /* * Interface to system's page allocator.
