linux-stable.git/mm/memcontrol.c, branch linux-5.0.y Linux kernel stable tree mm: writeback: use exact memcg dirty counts 2019-04-17T06:39:49+00:00 Greg Thelen gthelen@google.com 2019-04-06T01:39:18+00:00 3859d8fae2d83df3c3d8b65ca90ab061a7f8ef6c commit 0b3d6e6f2dd0a7b697b1aa8c167265908940624b upstream. Since commit a983b5ebee57 ("mm: memcontrol: fix excessive complexity in memory.stat reporting") memcg dirty and writeback counters are managed as: 1) per-memcg per-cpu values in range of [-32..32] 2) per-memcg atomic counter When a per-cpu counter cannot fit in [-32..32] it's flushed to the atomic. Stat readers only check the atomic. Thus readers such as balance_dirty_pages() may see a nontrivial error margin: 32 pages per cpu. Assuming 100 cpus: 4k x86 page_size: 13 MiB error per memcg 64k ppc page_size: 200 MiB error per memcg Considering that dirty+writeback are used together for some decisions the errors double. This inaccuracy can lead to undeserved oom kills. One nasty case is when all per-cpu counters hold positive values offsetting an atomic negative value (i.e. per_cpu[*]=32, atomic=n_cpu*-32). balance_dirty_pages() only consults the atomic and does not consider throttling the next n_cpu*32 dirty pages. If the file_lru is in the 13..200 MiB range then there's absolutely no dirty throttling, which burdens vmscan with only dirty+writeback pages thus resorting to oom kill. It could be argued that tiny containers are not supported, but it's more subtle. It's the amount the space available for file lru that matters. If a container has memory.max-200MiB of non reclaimable memory, then it will also suffer such oom kills on a 100 cpu machine. The following test reliably ooms without this patch. This patch avoids oom kills. $ cat test mount -t cgroup2 none /dev/cgroup cd /dev/cgroup echo +io +memory > cgroup.subtree_control mkdir test cd test echo 10M > memory.max (echo $BASHPID > cgroup.procs && exec /memcg-writeback-stress /foo) (echo $BASHPID > cgroup.procs && exec dd if=/dev/zero of=/foo bs=2M count=100) $ cat memcg-writeback-stress.c /* * Dirty pages from all but one cpu. * Clean pages from the non dirtying cpu. * This is to stress per cpu counter imbalance. * On a 100 cpu machine: * - per memcg per cpu dirty count is 32 pages for each of 99 cpus * - per memcg atomic is -99*32 pages * - thus the complete dirty limit: sum of all counters 0 * - balance_dirty_pages() only sees atomic count -99*32 pages, which * it max()s to 0. * - So a workload can dirty -99*32 pages before balance_dirty_pages() * cares. */ #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <err.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <sched.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <sys/sysinfo.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <unistd.h> static char *buf; static int bufSize; static void set_affinity(int cpu) { cpu_set_t affinity; CPU_ZERO(&affinity); CPU_SET(cpu, &affinity); if (sched_setaffinity(0, sizeof(affinity), &affinity)) err(1, "sched_setaffinity"); } static void dirty_on(int output_fd, int cpu) { int i, wrote; set_affinity(cpu); for (i = 0; i < 32; i++) { for (wrote = 0; wrote < bufSize; ) { int ret = write(output_fd, buf+wrote, bufSize-wrote); if (ret == -1) err(1, "write"); wrote += ret; } } } int main(int argc, char **argv) { int cpu, flush_cpu = 1, output_fd; const char *output; if (argc != 2) errx(1, "usage: output_file"); output = argv[1]; bufSize = getpagesize(); buf = malloc(getpagesize()); if (buf == NULL) errx(1, "malloc failed"); output_fd = open(output, O_CREAT|O_RDWR); if (output_fd == -1) err(1, "open(%s)", output); for (cpu = 0; cpu < get_nprocs(); cpu++) { if (cpu != flush_cpu) dirty_on(output_fd, cpu); } set_affinity(flush_cpu); if (fsync(output_fd)) err(1, "fsync(%s)", output); if (close(output_fd)) err(1, "close(%s)", output); free(buf); } Make balance_dirty_pages() and wb_over_bg_thresh() work harder to collect exact per memcg counters.

commit 0b3d6e6f2dd0a7b697b1aa8c167265908940624b upstream.

as:

 1) per-memcg per-cpu values in range of [-32..32]

 2) per-memcg atomic counter

When a per-cpu counter cannot fit in [-32..32] it's flushed to the
atomic.  Stat readers only check the atomic.  Thus readers such as
balance_dirty_pages() may see a nontrivial error margin: 32 pages per
cpu.

Assuming 100 cpus:
   4k x86 page_size:  13 MiB error per memcg
  64k ppc page_size: 200 MiB error per memcg

Considering that dirty+writeback are used together for some decisions the
errors double.

This inaccuracy can lead to undeserved oom kills.  One nasty case is
when all per-cpu counters hold positive values offsetting an atomic
negative value (i.e.  per_cpu[*]=32, atomic=n_cpu*-32).
balance_dirty_pages() only consults the atomic and does not consider
throttling the next n_cpu*32 dirty pages.  If the file_lru is in the
13..200 MiB range then there's absolutely no dirty throttling, which
burdens vmscan with only dirty+writeback pages thus resorting to oom
kill.

It could be argued that tiny containers are not supported, but it's more
subtle.  It's the amount the space available for file lru that matters.
If a container has memory.max-200MiB of non reclaimable memory, then it
will also suffer such oom kills on a 100 cpu machine.

[ Upstream commit 7775face207922ea62a4e96b9cd45abfdc7b9840 ]

If a memory cgroup contains a single process with many threads
(including different process group sharing the mm) then it is possible
to trigger a race when the oom killer complains that there are no oom
elible tasks and complain into the log which is both annoying and
confusing because there is no actual problem.  The race looks as
follows:

P1				oom_reaper		P2
try_charge						try_charge
  mem_cgroup_out_of_memory
    mutex_lock(oom_lock)
      out_of_memory
        oom_kill_process(P1,P2)
         wake_oom_reaper
    mutex_unlock(oom_lock)
    				oom_reap_task
							  mutex_lock(oom_lock)
							    select_bad_process # no victim

The problem is more visible with many threads.

Fix this by checking for fatal_signal_pending from
mem_cgroup_out_of_memory when the oom_lock is already held.

The oom bypass is safe because we do the same early in the try_charge
path already.  The situation migh have changed in the mean time.  It
should be safe to check for fatal_signal_pending and tsk_is_oom_victim
but for a better code readability abstract the current charge bypass
condition into should_force_charge and reuse it from that path.  "

The problem occurs because get_mem_cgroup_from_current() returns the NULL
pointer if memory controller is disabled.  Let's check if this is a case
at the beginning of memcg_kmem_charge() and just return 0 if
mem_cgroup_disabled() returns true.  This is how we handle this case in
many other places in the memory controller code.

Pull XArray conversion from Matthew Wilcox:
 "The XArray provides an improved interface to the radix tree data
  structure, providing locking as part of the API, specifying GFP flags
  at allocation time, eliminating preloading, less re-walking the tree,
  more efficient iterations and not exposing RCU-protected pointers to
  its users.

  This patch set

   1. Introduces the XArray implementation

   2. Converts the pagecache to use it

   3. Converts memremap to use it

  The page cache is the most complex and important user of the radix
  tree, so converting it was most important. Converting the memremap
  code removes the only other user of the multiorder code, which allows
  us to remove the radix tree code that supported it.

  I have 40+ followup patches to convert many other users of the radix
  tree over to the XArray, but I'd like to get this part in first. The

mm: don't raise MEMCG_OOM event due to failed high-order allocation 2018-10-26T23:38:14+00:00 Roman Gushchin guro@fb.com 2018-10-26T22:09:48+00:00 7a1adfddaf0d11a39fdcaf6e82a88e9c0586e08b It was reported that on some of our machines containers were restarted with OOM symptoms without an obvious reason. Despite there were almost no memory pressure and plenty of page cache, MEMCG_OOM event was raised occasionally, causing the container management software to think, that OOM has happened. However, no tasks have been killed. The following investigation showed that the problem is caused by a failing attempt to charge a high-order page. In such case, the OOM killer is never invoked. As shown below, it can happen under conditions, which are very far from a real OOM: e.g. there is plenty of clean page cache and no memory pressure. There is no sense in raising an OOM event in this case, as it might confuse a user and lead to wrong and excessive actions (e.g. restart the workload, as in my case). Let's look at the charging path in try_charge(). If the memory usage is about memory.max, which is absolutely natural for most memory cgroups, we try to reclaim some pages. Even if we were able to reclaim enough memory for the allocation, the following check can fail due to a race with another concurrent allocation: if (mem_cgroup_margin(mem_over_limit) >= nr_pages) goto retry; For regular pages the following condition will save us from triggering the OOM: if (nr_reclaimed && nr_pages <= (1 << PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER)) goto retry; But for high-order allocation this condition will intentionally fail. The reason behind is that we'll likely fall to regular pages anyway, so it's ok and even preferred to return ENOMEM. In this case the idea of raising MEMCG_OOM looks dubious. Fix this by moving MEMCG_OOM raising to mem_cgroup_oom() after allocation order check, so that the event won't be raised for high order allocations. This change doesn't affect regular pages allocation and charging.

It was reported that on some of our machines containers were restarted
with OOM symptoms without an obvious reason.  Despite there were almost no

has happened.  However, no tasks have been killed.

The following investigation showed that the problem is caused by a failing
attempt to charge a high-order page.  In such case, the OOM killer is
never invoked.  As shown below, it can happen under conditions, which are
very far from a real OOM: e.g.  there is plenty of clean page cache and no

       goto retry;

But for high-order allocation this condition will intentionally fail.  The

In this case the idea of raising MEMCG_OOM looks dubious.

Fix this by moving MEMCG_OOM raising to mem_cgroup_oom() after allocation
