However the commit 7887a3da753e ("[PATCH] oom: cpuset hint") changed the heuristic to just decrease the oom_badness scores of such potential victim based on the reason that the cpuset of such processes might have changed and previously they might have allocated memory on mems where the current allocating process can allocate from. Unintentionally 7887a3da753e ("[PATCH] oom: cpuset hint") introduced a side effect as the oom_badness is also exposed to the user space through /proc/[pid]/oom_score, so, readers with different cpusets can read different oom_score of th same process. Later 6cf86ac6f36b ("oom: filter tasks not sharing the same cpuset") fixed the side effect introduced by 7887a3da753e by moving the cpuset intersection back to only oom-killer context and out of oom_badness. However the combination of ab290adbaf8f ("oom: make oom_unkillable_task() helper function") and 26ebc984913b ("oom: /proc/<pid>/oom_score treat kernel thread honestly") unintentionally brought back the cpuset intersection check into the oom_badness calculation function. Other than doing cpuset/mempolicy intersection from oom_badness, the memcg oom context is also doing cpuset/mempolicy intersection which is quite wrong and is caught by syzcaller with the following report: kasan: CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE enabled kasan: GPF could be caused by NULL-ptr deref or user memory access general protection fault: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN CPU: 0 PID: 28426 Comm: syz-executor.5 Not tainted 5.2.0-rc3-next-20190607 Hardware name: Google Google Compute Engine/Google Compute Engine, BIOS Google 01/01/2011 RIP: 0010:__read_once_size include/linux/compiler.h:194 [inline] RIP: 0010:has_intersects_mems_allowed mm/oom_kill.c:84 [inline] RIP: 0010:oom_unkillable_task mm/oom_kill.c:168 [inline] RIP: 0010:oom_unkillable_task+0x180/0x400 mm/oom_kill.c:155 Code: c1 ea 03 80 3c 02 00 0f 85 80 02 00 00 4c 8b a3 10 07 00 00 48 b8 00 00 00 00 00 fc ff df 4d 8d 74 24 10 4c 89 f2 48 c1 ea 03 <80> 3c 02 00 0f 85 67 02 00 00 49 8b 44 24 10 4c 8d a0 68 fa ff ff RSP: 0018:ffff888000127490 EFLAGS: 00010a03 RAX: dffffc0000000000 RBX: ffff8880a4cd5438 RCX: ffffffff818dae9c RDX: 100000000c3cc602 RSI: ffffffff818dac8d RDI: 0000000000000001 RBP: ffff8880001274d0 R08: ffff888000086180 R09: ffffed1015d26be0 R10: ffffed1015d26bdf R11: ffff8880ae935efb R12: 8000000061e63007 R13: 0000000000000000 R14: 8000000061e63017 R15: 1ffff11000024ea6 FS: 00005555561f5940(0000) GS:ffff8880ae800000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 0000000000607304 CR3: 000000009237e000 CR4: 00000000001426f0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000600 Call Trace: oom_evaluate_task+0x49/0x520 mm/oom_kill.c:321 mem_cgroup_scan_tasks+0xcc/0x180 mm/memcontrol.c:1169 select_bad_process mm/oom_kill.c:374 [inline] out_of_memory mm/oom_kill.c:1088 [inline] out_of_memory+0x6b2/0x1280 mm/oom_kill.c:1035 mem_cgroup_out_of_memory+0x1ca/0x230 mm/memcontrol.c:1573 mem_cgroup_oom mm/memcontrol.c:1905 [inline] try_charge+0xfbe/0x1480 mm/memcontrol.c:2468 mem_cgroup_try_charge+0x24d/0x5e0 mm/memcontrol.c:6073 mem_cgroup_try_charge_delay+0x1f/0xa0 mm/memcontrol.c:6088 do_huge_pmd_wp_page_fallback+0x24f/0x1680 mm/huge_memory.c:1201 do_huge_pmd_wp_page+0x7fc/0x2160 mm/huge_memory.c:1359 wp_huge_pmd mm/memory.c:3793 [inline] __handle_mm_fault+0x164c/0x3eb0 mm/memory.c:4006 handle_mm_fault+0x3b7/0xa90 mm/memory.c:4053 do_user_addr_fault arch/x86/mm/fault.c:1455 [inline] __do_page_fault+0x5ef/0xda0 arch/x86/mm/fault.c:1521 do_page_fault+0x71/0x57d arch/x86/mm/fault.c:1552 page_fault+0x1e/0x30 arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:1156 RIP: 0033:0x400590 Code: 06 e9 49 01 00 00 48 8b 44 24 10 48 0b 44 24 28 75 1f 48 8b 14 24 48 8b 7c 24 20 be 04 00 00 00 e8 f5 56 00 00 48 8b 74 24 08 <89> 06 e9 1e 01 00 00 48 8b 44 24 08 48 8b 14 24 be 04 00 00 00 8b RSP: 002b:00007fff7bc49780 EFLAGS: 00010206 RAX: 0000000000000001 RBX: 0000000000760000 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 000000002000cffc RDI: 0000000000000001 RBP: fffffffffffffffe R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 0000000000000075 R11: 0000000000000246 R12: 0000000000760008 R13: 00000000004c55f2 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: 00007fff7bc499b0 Modules linked in: ---[ end trace a65689219582ffff ]--- RIP: 0010:__read_once_size include/linux/compiler.h:194 [inline] RIP: 0010:has_intersects_mems_allowed mm/oom_kill.c:84 [inline] RIP: 0010:oom_unkillable_task mm/oom_kill.c:168 [inline] RIP: 0010:oom_unkillable_task+0x180/0x400 mm/oom_kill.c:155 Code: c1 ea 03 80 3c 02 00 0f 85 80 02 00 00 4c 8b a3 10 07 00 00 48 b8 00 00 00 00 00 fc ff df 4d 8d 74 24 10 4c 89 f2 48 c1 ea 03 <80> 3c 02 00 0f 85 67 02 00 00 49 8b 44 24 10 4c 8d a0 68 fa ff ff RSP: 0018:ffff888000127490 EFLAGS: 00010a03 RAX: dffffc0000000000 RBX: ffff8880a4cd5438 RCX: ffffffff818dae9c RDX: 100000000c3cc602 RSI: ffffffff818dac8d RDI: 0000000000000001 RBP: ffff8880001274d0 R08: ffff888000086180 R09: ffffed1015d26be0 R10: ffffed1015d26bdf R11: ffff8880ae935efb R12: 8000000061e63007 R13: 0000000000000000 R14: 8000000061e63017 R15: 1ffff11000024ea6 FS: 00005555561f5940(0000) GS:ffff8880ae800000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 0000001b2f823000 CR3: 000000009237e000 CR4: 00000000001426f0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000600 The fix is to decouple the cpuset/mempolicy intersection check from oom_unkillable_task() and make sure cpuset/mempolicy intersection check is only done in the global oom context.
