Hmm, wait a second. I have completely forgot about the kmem charging path during the review. So while previously memcg_charge_kmem could have oom killed a task if the it couldn't charge to the u-limit after it managed to charge k-limit, now it would simply fail because there is no mem_cgroup_{enable,disable}_oom around __mem_cgroup_try_charge it relies on. The allocation will fail in the end but I am not sure whether the missing oom is an issue or not for existing use cases. My original objection about oom triggered from kmem paths was that oom is not kmem aware so the oom decisions might be totally bogus. But we still have that: /* * Conditions under which we can wait for the oom_killer. Those are * the same conditions tested by the core page allocator */ may_oom = (gfp & __GFP_FS) && !(gfp & __GFP_NORETRY); _memcg = memcg; ret = __mem_cgroup_try_charge(NULL, gfp, size >> PAGE_SHIFT, &_memcg, may_oom); I do not mind having may_oom = false unconditionally in that path but I would like to hear fromm Glauber first. > > Reported-by: Reported-by: azurIt <azurit@xxxxxxxx> > > Debugged-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxx> > > Not-yet-Signed-off-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@xxxxxxxxxxx> > > Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxx> > > Thanks! > > > --- > > include/linux/memcontrol.h | 17 ++++++++ > > include/linux/sched.h | 2 + > > mm/memcontrol.c | 96 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------------- > > mm/memory.c | 11 +++++- > > mm/oom_kill.c | 2 + > > 5 files changed, 96 insertions(+), 32 deletions(-) > > > > diff --git a/include/linux/memcontrol.h b/include/linux/memcontrol.h > > index b344b3a..325da07 100644 > > --- a/include/linux/memcontrol.h > > +++ b/include/linux/memcontrol.h > > @@ -132,6 +132,13 @@ static inline void mem_cgroup_disable_oom(void) > > current->memcg_oom.may_oom = 0; > > } > > > > +static inline bool task_in_memcg_oom(struct task_struct *p) > > +{ > > + return p->memcg_oom.memcg; > > +} > > + > > +bool mem_cgroup_oom_synchronize(bool wait); > > + > > #ifdef CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP > > extern int do_swap_account; > > #endif > > @@ -353,6 +360,16 @@ static inline void mem_cgroup_disable_oom(void) > > { > > } > > > > +static inline bool task_in_memcg_oom(struct task_struct *p) > > +{ > > + return false; > > +} > > + > > +static inline bool mem_cgroup_oom_synchronize(bool wait) > > +{ > > + return false; > > +} > > + > > static inline void mem_cgroup_inc_page_stat(struct page *page, > > enum mem_cgroup_page_stat_item idx) > > { > > diff --git a/include/linux/sched.h b/include/linux/sched.h > > index 21834a9..fb1f145 100644 > > --- a/include/linux/sched.h > > +++ b/include/linux/sched.h > > @@ -1569,6 +1569,8 @@ struct task_struct { > > unsigned long memsw_nr_pages; /* uncharged mem+swap usage */ > > } memcg_batch; > > struct memcg_oom_info { > > + struct mem_cgroup *memcg; > > + gfp_t gfp_mask; > > unsigned int may_oom:1; > > } memcg_oom; > > #endif > > diff --git a/mm/memcontrol.c b/mm/memcontrol.c > > index 36bb58f..56643fe 100644 > > --- a/mm/memcontrol.c > > +++ b/mm/memcontrol.c > > @@ -1858,14 +1858,59 @@ static void memcg_oom_recover(struct mem_cgroup *memcg) > > memcg_wakeup_oom(memcg); > > } > > > > -/* > > - * try to call OOM killer. returns false if we should exit memory-reclaim loop. > > +static void mem_cgroup_oom(struct mem_cgroup *memcg, gfp_t mask) > > +{ > > + if (!current->memcg_oom.may_oom) > > + return; > > + /* > > + * We are in the middle of the charge context here, so we > > + * don't want to block when potentially sitting on a callstack > > + * that holds all kinds of filesystem and mm locks. > > + * > > + * Also, the caller may handle a failed allocation gracefully > > + * (like optional page cache readahead) and so an OOM killer > > + * invocation might not even be necessary. > > + * > > + * That's why we don't do anything here except remember the > > + * OOM context and then deal with it at the end of the page > > + * fault when the stack is unwound, the locks are released, > > + * and when we know whether the fault was overall successful. > > + */ > > + css_get(&memcg->css); > > + current->memcg_oom.memcg = memcg; > > + current->memcg_oom.gfp_mask = mask; > > +} > > + > > +/** > > + * mem_cgroup_oom_synchronize - complete memcg OOM handling > > + * @handle: actually kill/wait or just clean up the OOM state > > + * > > + * This has to be called at the end of a page fault if the memcg OOM > > + * handler was enabled. > > + * > > + * Memcg supports userspace OOM handling where failed allocations must > > + * sleep on a waitqueue until the userspace task resolves the > > + * situation.
