mm, oom: do not trigger out_of_memory from the #PF

2021-11-26T10:48:40+00:00

commit 60e2793d440a3ec95abb5d6d4fc034a4b480472d upstream.

Any allocation failure during the #PF path will return with VM_FAULT_OOM
which in turn results in pagefault_out_of_memory.  This can happen for 2
different reasons.  a) Memcg is out of memory and we rely on
mem_cgroup_oom_synchronize to perform the memcg OOM handling or b)
normal allocation fails.

The latter is quite problematic because allocation paths already trigger
out_of_memory and the page allocator tries really hard to not fail
allocations.  Anyway, if the OOM killer has been already invoked there
is no reason to invoke it again from the #PF path.  Especially when the
OOM condition might be gone by that time and we have no way to find out
other than allocate.

Moreover if the allocation failed and the OOM killer hasn't been invoked
then we are unlikely to do the right thing from the #PF context because
we have already lost the allocation context and restictions and
therefore might oom kill a task from a different NUMA domain.

This all suggests that there is no legitimate reason to trigger
out_of_memory from pagefault_out_of_memory so drop it.  Just to be sure
that no #PF path returns with VM_FAULT_OOM without allocation print a
warning that this is happening before we restart the #PF.

[VvS: #PF allocation can hit into limit of cgroup v1 kmem controller.
This is a local problem related to memcg, however, it causes unnecessary
global OOM kills that are repeated over and over again and escalate into a
real disaster.  This has been broken since kmem accounting has been
introduced for cgroup v1 (3.8).  There was no kmem specific reclaim for
the separate limit so the only way to handle kmem hard limit was to return
with ENOMEM.  In upstream the problem will be fixed by removing the
outdated kmem limit, however stable and LTS kernels cannot do it and are
still affected.  This patch fixes the problem and should be backported
into stable/LTS.]

mm, oom: pagefault_out_of_memory: don't force global OOM for dying tasks

2021-11-26T10:48:39+00:00

commit 0b28179a6138a5edd9d82ad2687c05b3773c387b upstream.

Patch series "memcg: prohibit unconditional exceeding the limit of dying tasks", v3.

Memory cgroup charging allows killed or exiting tasks to exceed the hard
limit.  It can be misused and allowed to trigger global OOM from inside
a memcg-limited container.  On the other hand if memcg fails allocation,
called from inside #PF handler it triggers global OOM from inside
pagefault_out_of_memory().

To prevent these problems this patchset:
 (a) removes execution of out_of_memory() from
     pagefault_out_of_memory(), becasue nobody can explain why it is
     necessary.
 (b) allow memcg to fail allocation of dying/killed tasks.

This patch (of 3):

Any allocation failure during the #PF path will return with VM_FAULT_OOM
which in turn results in pagefault_out_of_memory which in turn executes
out_out_memory() and can kill a random task.

An allocation might fail when the current task is the oom victim and
there are no memory reserves left.  The OOM killer is already handled at
the page allocator level for the global OOM and at the charging level
for the memcg one.  Both have much more information about the scope of
allocation/charge request.  This means that either the OOM killer has
been invoked properly and didn't lead to the allocation success or it
has been skipped because it couldn't have been invoked.  In both cases
triggering it from here is pointless and even harmful.

It makes much more sense to let the killed task die rather than to wake
up an eternally hungry oom-killer and send him to choose a fatter victim
for breakfast.

oom, oom_reaper: do not enqueue same task twice

2019-02-12T18:45:02+00:00

commit 9bcdeb51bd7d2ae9fe65ea4d60643d2aeef5bfe3 upstream.

Arkadiusz reported that enabling memcg's group oom killing causes
strange memcg statistics where there is no task in a memcg despite the
number of tasks in that memcg is not 0.  It turned out that there is a
bug in wake_oom_reaper() which allows enqueuing same task twice which
makes impossible to decrease the number of tasks in that memcg due to a
refcount leak.

This bug existed since the OOM reaper became invokable from
task_will_free_mem(current) path in out_of_memory() in Linux 4.7,

                 mutex_unlock(&oom_lock)

        mark_oom_victim(T1@P1)
        wake_oom_reaper(T1@P1) # T1@P1 is enqueued again due to oom_reaper_list == T2@P1 && T1@P1->oom_reaper_list == NULL.
      mutex_unlock(&oom_lock)
                                   # Completed processing an OOM victim in a different memcg domain.
                                   spin_lock(&oom_reaper_lock)
                                   # T1P1 is dequeued.
                                   spin_unlock(&oom_reaper_lock)

but memcg's group oom killing made it easier to trigger this bug by
calling wake_oom_reaper() on the same task from one out_of_memory()
request.

Fix this bug using an approach used by commit 855b018325737f76 ("oom,
oom_reaper: disable oom_reaper for oom_kill_allocating_task").  As a
side effect of this patch, this patch also avoids enqueuing multiple
threads sharing memory via task_will_free_mem(current) path.

mm, oom: fix use-after-free in oom_kill_process

2019-02-06T16:33:29+00:00

commit cefc7ef3c87d02fc9307835868ff721ea12cc597 upstream.

Syzbot instance running on upstream kernel found a use-after-free bug in
oom_kill_process.  On further inspection it seems like the process
selected to be oom-killed has exited even before reaching
read_lock(&tasklist_lock) in oom_kill_process().  More specifically the
tsk->usage is 1 which is due to get_task_struct() in oom_evaluate_task()
and the put_task_struct within for_each_thread() frees the tsk and
for_each_thread() tries to access the tsk.  The easiest fix is to do
get/put across the for_each_thread() on the selected task.

Now the next question is should we continue with the oom-kill as the
previously selected task has exited? However before adding more
complexity and heuristics, let's answer why we even look at the children
of oom-kill selected task? The select_bad_process() has already selected
the worst process in the system/memcg.  Due to race, the selected
process might not be the worst at the kill time but does that matter?
The userspace can use the oom_score_adj interface to prefer children to
be killed before the parent.  I looked at the history but it seems like
this is there before git history.

mm, oom_reaper: gather each vma to prevent leaking TLB entry

2017-12-09T21:01:47+00:00

commit 687cb0884a714ff484d038e9190edc874edcf146 upstream.

tlb_gather_mmu(&tlb, mm, 0, -1) means gathering the whole virtual memory
space.  In this case, tlb->fullmm is true.  Some archs like arm64
doesn't flush TLB when tlb->fullmm is true:

  commit 5a7862e83000 ("arm64: tlbflush: avoid flushing when fullmm == 1").

Which causes leaking of tlb entries.

Will clarifies his patch:
 "Basically, we tag each address space with an ASID (PCID on x86) which
  is resident in the TLB. This means we can elide TLB invalidation when
  pulling down a full mm because we won't ever assign that ASID to
  another mm without doing TLB invalidation elsewhere (which actually
  just nukes the whole TLB).

  I think that means that we could potentially not fault on a kernel
  uaccess, because we could hit in the TLB"

There could be a window between complete_signal() sending IPI to other
cores and all threads sharing this mm are really kicked off from cores.
In this window, the oom reaper may calls tlb_flush_mmu_tlbonly() to
flush TLB then frees pages.  However, due to the above problem, the TLB
entries are not really flushed on arm64.  Other threads are possible to
access these pages through TLB entries.  Moreover, a copy_to_user() can
also write to these pages without generating page fault, causes
use-after-free bugs.

This patch gathers each vma instead of gathering full vm space.  In this
case tlb->fullmm is not true.  The behavior of oom reaper become similar
to munmapping before do_exit, which should be safe for all archs.

mm, oom_reaper: skip mm structs with mmu notifiers

2017-10-12T09:51:19+00:00

commit 4d4bbd8526a8fbeb2c090ea360211fceff952383 upstream.

Andrea has noticed that the oom_reaper doesn't invalidate the range via
mmu notifiers (mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start/end) and that can
corrupt the memory of the kvm guest for example.

tlb_flush_mmu_tlbonly already invokes mmu notifiers but that is not
sufficient as per Andrea:

 "mmu_notifier_invalidate_range cannot be used in replacement of
  mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start/end. For KVM
  mmu_notifier_invalidate_range is a noop and rightfully so. A MMU
  notifier implementation has to implement either ->invalidate_range
  method or the invalidate_range_start/end methods, not both. And if you
  implement invalidate_range_start/end like KVM is forced to do, calling
  mmu_notifier_invalidate_range in common code is a noop for KVM.

  For those MMU notifiers that can get away only implementing
  ->invalidate_range, the ->invalidate_range is implicitly called by
  mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end(). And only those secondary MMUs
  that share the same pagetable with the primary MMU (like AMD iommuv2)
  can get away only implementing ->invalidate_range"

As the callback is allowed to sleep and the implementation is out of
hand of the MM it is safer to simply bail out if there is an mmu
notifier registered.  In order to not fail too early make the
mm_has_notifiers check under the oom_lock and have a little nap before
failing to give the current oom victim some more time to exit.

So all nodes but Node 0 have a lot of free memory which should suggest
that there is an available memory especially when mems_allowed=0-7.  One
could speculate that a massive process has managed to terminate and free
up a lot of memory while racing with the above allocation request.
Although this is highly unlikely it cannot be ruled out.

A further debugging, however shown that the faulting process had
mempolicy (not cpuset) to bind to Node 0.  We cannot see that
information from the report though.  mems_allowed turned out to be more
confusing than really helpful.

Fix this by always priting the nodemask.  It is either mempolicy mask
(and non-null) or the one defined by the cpusets.  The new output for
the above oom report would be

  PoolThread invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x280da(GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE|__GFP_ZERO), nodemask=0, order=0, oom_adj=0, oom_score_adj=0

This patch doesn't touch show_mem and the node filtering based on the
cpuset node mask because mempolicy is always a subset of cpusets and
seeing the full cpuset oom context might be helpful for tunning more
specific mempolicies inside cpusets (e.g.  when they turn out to be too
restrictive).  To prevent from ugly ifdefs the mask is printed even for
!NUMA configurations but this should be OK (a single node will be
printed).

mm: don't emit warning from pagefault_out_of_memory()

2016-10-08T01:46:29+00:00

Commit c32b3cbe0d06 ("oom, PM: make OOM detection in the freezer path
raceless") inserted a WARN_ON() into pagefault_out_of_memory() in order
to warn when we raced with disabling the OOM killer.

Now, patch "oom, suspend: fix oom_killer_disable vs.  pm suspend
properly" introduced a timeout for oom_killer_disable().  Even if we
raced with disabling the OOM killer and the system is OOM livelocked,
the OOM killer will be enabled eventually (in 20 seconds by default) and
the OOM livelock will be solved.  Therefore, we no longer need to warn
when we raced with disabling the OOM killer.

oom: warn if we go OOM for higher order and compaction is disabled

2016-10-08T01:46:28+00:00

Since the lumpy reclaim is gone there is no source of higher order pages
if CONFIG_COMPACTION=n except for the order-0 pages reclaim which is
unreliable for that purpose to say the least.  Hitting an OOM for
!costly higher order requests is therefore all not that hard to imagine.
We are trying hard to not invoke OOM killer as much as possible but
there is simply no reliable way to detect whether more reclaim retries
make sense.

Disabling COMPACTION is not widespread but it seems that some users
might have disable the feature without realizing full consequences
(mostly along with disabling THP because compaction used to be THP
mainly thing).  This patch just adds a note if the OOM killer was
triggered by higher order request with compaction disabled.  This will
help us identifying possible misconfiguration right from the oom report
which is easier than to always keep in mind that somebody might have
disabled COMPACTION without a good reason.

oom, oom_reaper: allow to reap mm shared by the kthreads

2016-10-08T01:46:28+00:00

oom reaper was skipped for an mm which is shared with the kernel thread
(aka use_mm()).  The primary concern was that such a kthread might want
to read from the userspace memory and see zero page as a result of the
oom reaper action.  This is no longer a problem after "mm: make sure
that kthreads will not refault oom reaped memory" because any attempt to
fault in when the MMF_UNSTABLE is set will result in SIGBUS and so the
target user should see an error.  This means that we can finally allow
oom reaper also to tasks which share their mm with kthreads.
