memcg: fix soft lockup in the OOM process

2025-02-08T08:58:19+00:00

commit ade81479c7dda1ce3eedb215c78bc615bbd04f06 upstream. A soft lockup issue was found in the product with about 56,000 tasks were in the OOM cgroup, it was traversing them when the soft lockup was triggered. watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#2 stuck for 23s!

As a result, this lead to soft lockup in the OOM process. To fix this issue, call 'cond_resched' in the 'mem_cgroup_scan_tasks' function per 1000 iterations. For global OOM, call 'touch_softlockup_watchdog' per 1000 iterations to avoid this issue.

memory: remove the now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array

2024-04-26T03:56:32+00:00

This commit comes at the tail end of a greater effort to remove the empty elements at the end of the ctl_table arrays (sentinels) which will reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time memory bloat by ~64 bytes per sentinel (further information Link : https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZO5Yx5JFogGi%2FcBo@bombadil.infradead.org/) Remove sentinel from all files under mm/ that register a sysctl table.

mm: update mark_victim tracepoints fields

2024-03-05T01:01:16+00:00

The current implementation of the mark_victim tracepoint provides only the process ID (pid) of the victim process. This limitation poses challenges for userspace tools requiring real-time OOM analysis and intervention. Although this information is available from the kernel logs, it’s not the appropriate format to provide OOM notifications. In Android, BPF programs are used with the mark_victim trace events to notify userspace of an OOM kill. For consistency, update the trace event to include the same information about the OOMed victim as the kernel logs. - UID In Android each installed application has a unique UID. Including the `uid` assists in correlating OOM events with specific apps. - Process Name (comm) Enables identification of the affected process. - OOM Score Will allow userspace to get additional insight of the relative kill priority of the OOM victim. In Android, the oom_score_adj is used to categorize app state (foreground, background, etc.), which aids in analyzing user-perceptible impacts of OOM events [1]. - Total VM, RSS Stats, and pgtables Amount of memory used by the victim that will, potentially, be freed up by killing it.

mm, oom:dump_tasks add rss detailed information printing

2023-12-11T00:51:53+00:00

When the system is under oom, it prints out the RSS information of each process. However, we don't know the size of rss_anon, rss_file, and rss_shmem. To distinguish the memory occupied by anonymous or file mappings or shmem, could help us identify the root cause of the oom. So this patch adds RSS details, which refers to the /proc//status[1]. It can help us know more about process memory usage. Example of oom including the new rss_* fields: [ 1630.902466] Tasks state (memory values in pages): [ 1630.902870] [ pid ] uid tgid total_vm rss rss_anon rss_file rss_shmem pgtables_bytes swapents oom_score_adj name [ 1630.903619] [ 149] 0 149 486 288 0 288 0 36864 0 0 ash [ 1630.904210] [ 156] 0 156 153531 153345 153345 0 0 1269760 0 0 mm_test [1] commit 8cee852ec53f ("mm, procfs: breakdown RSS for anon, shmem and file in /proc/pid/status").

mm: remove redundant K() macro definition

2023-08-21T20:37:44+00:00

Patch series "cleanup with helper macro K()". Use helper macro K() to improve code readability. No functional modification involved. Remove redundant K() macro definition. This patch (of 7): Since commit eb8589b4f8c1 ("mm: move mem_init_print_info() to mm_init.c"), the K() macro definition has been moved to mm/internal.h. Therefore, the definitions in mm/memcontrol.c, mm/backing-dev.c and mm/oom_kill.c are redundant. Drop redundant definitions.

mmu_notifier_range_update_to_read_only() was originally introduced in commit c6d23413f81b ("mm/mmu_notifier: mmu_notifier_range_update_to_read_only() helper") as an optimisation for device drivers that know a range has only been mapped read-only. However there are no users of this feature so remove it. As it is the only user of the struct mmu_notifier_range.vma field remove that also.

mm: reduce noise in show_mem for lowmem allocations

2022-09-27T02:46:29+00:00

While discussing early DMA pool pre-allocation failure with Christoph [1] I have realized that the allocation failure warning is rather noisy for constrained allocations like GFP_DMA{32}. Those zones are usually not populated on all nodes very often as their memory ranges are constrained. This is an attempt to reduce the ballast that doesn't provide any relevant information for those allocation failures investigation. Please note that I have only compile tested it (in my default config setup) and I am throwing it mostly to see what people think about it.
