perf top: Fix TUI exit screen refresh race condition

2022-01-02T14:46:44+00:00

When the following command is executed several times, a coredump file is generated. $ timeout -k 9 5 perf top -e task-clock ******* ******* ******* 0.01% [kernel] [k] __do_softirq 0.01% libpthread-2.28.so [.] __pthread_mutex_lock 0.01% [kernel] [k] __ll_sc_atomic64_sub_return double free or corruption (!prev) perf top --sort comm,dso timeout: the monitored command dumped core When we terminate "perf top" using sending signal method, SLsmg_reset_smg() called. SLsmg_reset_smg() resets the SLsmg screen management routines by freeing all memory allocated while it was active. However SLsmg_reinit_smg() maybe be called by another thread. SLsmg_reinit_smg() will free the same memory accessed by SLsmg_reset_smg(), thus it results in a double free. SLsmg_reinit_smg() is called already protected by ui__lock, so we fix the problem by adding pthread_mutex_trylock of ui__lock when calling SLsmg_reset_smg().

perf pmu: Fix alias events list

2022-01-02T14:29:05+00:00

Commit 0e0ae8742207c3b4 ("perf list: Display hybrid PMU events with cpu type") changes the event list for uncore PMUs or arm64 heterogeneous CPU systems, such that duplicate aliases are incorrectly listed per PMU (which they should not be), like: # perf list ... unc_cbo_cache_lookup.any_es [Unit: uncore_cbox L3 Lookup any request that access cache and found line in E or S-state] unc_cbo_cache_lookup.any_es [Unit: uncore_cbox L3 Lookup any request that access cache and found line in E or S-state] unc_cbo_cache_lookup.any_i [Unit: uncore_cbox L3 Lookup any request that access cache and found line in I-state] unc_cbo_cache_lookup.any_i [Unit: uncore_cbox L3 Lookup any request that access cache and found line in I-state] ... Notice how the events are listed twice. The named commit changed how we remove duplicate events, in that events for different PMUs are not treated as duplicates. I suppose this is to handle how "Each hybrid pmu event has been assigned with a pmu name". Fix PMU alias listing by restoring behaviour to remove duplicates for non-hybrid PMUs.

mm: vmscan: reduce throttling due to a failure to make progress -fix

2021-12-31T21:12:55+00:00

Hugh Dickins reported the following My tmpfs swapping load (tweaked to use huge pages more heavily than in real life) is far from being a realistic load: but it was notably slowed down by your throttling mods in 5.16-rc, and this patch makes it well again - thanks. But: it very quickly hit NULL pointer until I changed that last line to if (first_pgdat) consider_reclaim_throttle(first_pgdat, sc); The likely issue is that huge pages are a major component of the test workload. When this is the case, first_pgdat may never get set if compaction is ready to continue due to this check if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_COMPACTION) && sc->order > PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER && compaction_ready(zone, sc)) { sc->compaction_ready = true; continue; } If this was true for every zone in the zonelist, first_pgdat would never get set resulting in a NULL pointer exception.

mm: vmscan: Reduce throttling due to a failure to make progress

2021-12-31T19:17:07+00:00

Mike Galbraith, Alexey Avramov and Darrick Wong all reported similar problems due to reclaim throttling for excessive lengths of time. In Alexey's case, a memory hog that should go OOM quickly stalls for several minutes before stalling. In Mike and Darrick's cases, a small memcg environment stalled excessively even though the system had enough memory overall. Commit 69392a403f49 ("mm/vmscan: throttle reclaim when no progress is being made") introduced the problem although commit a19594ca4a8b ("mm/vmscan: increase the timeout if page reclaim is not making progress") made it worse. Systems at or near an OOM state that cannot be recovered must reach OOM quickly and memcg should kill tasks if a memcg is near OOM. To address this, only stall for the first zone in the zonelist, reduce the timeout to 1 tick for VMSCAN_THROTTLE_NOPROGRESS and only stall if the scan control nr_reclaimed is 0, kswapd is still active and there were excessive pages pending for writeback. If kswapd has stopped reclaiming due to excessive failures, do not stall at all so that OOM triggers relatively quickly. Similarly, if an LRU is simply congested, only lightly throttle similar to NOPROGRESS. Alexey's original case was the most straight forward for i in {1..3}; do tail /dev/zero; done On vanilla 5.16-rc1, this test stalled heavily, after the patch the test completes in a few seconds similar to 5.15. Alexey's second test case added watching a youtube video while tail runs 10 times. On 5.15, playback only jitters slightly, 5.16-rc1 stalls a lot with lots of frames missing and numerous audio glitches. With this patch applies, the video plays similarly to 5.15.
