The patch titled Subject: dma-buf/heaps: system_heap: avoid too much allocation has been added to the -mm mm-unstable branch. Its filename is dma-buf-heaps-system_heap-avoid-too-much-allocation.patch This patch will shortly appear at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/dma-buf-heaps-system_heap-avoid-too-much-allocation.patch This patch will later appear in the mm-unstable branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next via the mm-everything branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm and is updated there every 2-3 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Jaewon Kim <jaewon31.kim@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: dma-buf/heaps: system_heap: avoid too much allocation Date: Mon, 10 Apr 2023 16:32:28 +0900 Normal free:212600kB min:7664kB low:57100kB high:106536kB reserved_highatomic:4096KB active_anon:276kB inactive_anon:180kB active_file:1200kB inactive_file:0kB unevictable:2932kB writepending:0kB present:4109312kB managed:3689488kB mlocked:2932kB pagetables:13600kB bounce:0kB free_pcp:0kB local_pcp:0kB free_cma:200844kB Out of memory and no killable processes... Kernel panic - not syncing: System is deadlocked on memory An OoM panic was reported. The log shows there were only native processes which are non-killable as OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN. After looking into the dump, I've found the dma-buf system heap was trying to allocate a huge size. It seems to be a signed negative value. dma_heap_ioctl_allocate(inline) | heap_allocation = 0xFFFFFFC02247BD38 -> ( | len = 0xFFFFFFFFE7225100, To avoid this invalid request, check if the requested size is bigger than system total memory. Actually the old ion system heap had similar policy with commit c9e8440eca61 ("staging: ion: Fix overflow and list bugs in system heap"). Even with this sanity check, there is still risk of too much allocations from the system_heap. Allocating multiple big size buffers may cause oom. Add __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL. With this gfp, the allocation may fail, but we can avoid oom panic.
