David Hildenbrand (Arm)andAndrew Morton ba25127a8f mm/oom_kill: factor out zapping of VMA into zap_vma_for_reaping()
Let's factor it out so we can turn unmap_page_range() into a static
function instead, and so oom reaping has a clean interface to call.

Note that hugetlb is not supported, because it would require a bunch of
hugetlb-specific further actions (see zap_page_range_single_batched()).

David Hildenbrand (Arm)andAndrew Morton f52f202dde mm/oom_kill: use MMU_NOTIFY_CLEAR in __oom_reap_task_mm()
In commit 7269f99993 ("mm/mmu_notifier: use correct mmu_notifier events
for each invalidation") we converted all MMU_NOTIFY_UNMAP to
MMU_NOTIFY_CLEAR, except the ones that actually perform munmap() or
mremap() as documented.

__oom_reap_task_mm() behaves much more like MADV_DONTNEED.  So use
MMU_NOTIFY_CLEAR as well.

This is a preparation for further changes.

Mathieu DesnoyersandAndrew Morton 5898aa8f9a mm: fix OOM killer inaccuracy on large many-core systems
Use the precise, albeit slower, precise RSS counter sums for the OOM
killer task selection and console dumps.  The approximated value is too
imprecise on large many-core systems.

The following rss tracking issues were noted by Sweet Tea Dorminy [1],
which lead to picking wrong tasks as OOM kill target:

  Recently, several internal services had an RSS usage regression as part of a
  kernel upgrade. Previously, they were on a pre-6.2 kernel and were able to
  read RSS statistics in a backup watchdog process to monitor and decide if
  they'd overrun their memory budget. Now, however, a representative service
  with five threads, expected to use about a hundred MB of memory, on a 250-cpu
  machine had memory usage tens of megabytes different from the expected amount
  -- this constituted a significant percentage of inaccuracy, causing the
  watchdog to act.

  This was a result of commit f1a7941243 ("mm: convert mm's rss stats
  into percpu_counter") [1].  Previously, the memory error was bounded by
  64*nr_threads pages, a very livable megabyte. Now, however, as a result of
  scheduler decisions moving the threads around the CPUs, the memory error could
  be as large as a gigabyte.

  This is a really tremendous inaccuracy for any few-threaded program on a
  large machine and impedes monitoring significantly. These stat counters are
  also used to make OOM killing decisions, so this additional inaccuracy could
  make a big difference in OOM situations -- either resulting in the wrong
  process being killed, or in less memory being returned from an OOM-kill than
  expected.

Here is a (possibly incomplete) list of the prior approaches that were
used or proposed, along with their downside:

1) Per-thread rss tracking: large error on many-thread processes.

2) Per-CPU counters: up to 12% slower for short-lived processes and 9%
   increased system time in make test workloads [1]. Moreover, the
   inaccuracy increases with O(n^2) with the number of CPUs.

3) Per-NUMA-node counters: requires atomics on fast-path (overhead),
   error is high with systems that have lots of NUMA nodes (32 times
   the number of NUMA nodes).

commit 82241a83cd ("mm: fix the inaccurate memory statistics issue for
users") introduced get_mm_counter_sum() for precise proc memory status
queries for some proc files.

The simple fix proposed here is to do the precise per-cpu counters sum
every time a counter value needs to be read.  This applies to the OOM
killer task selection, oom task console dumps (printk).

This change increases the latency introduced when the OOM killer executes
in favor of doing a more precise OOM target task selection.  Effectively,
the OOM killer iterates on all tasks, for all relevant page types, for
which the precise sum iterates on all possible CPUs.

As a reference, here is the execution time of the OOM killer before/after
the change:

AMD EPYC 9654 96-Core (2 sockets)
Within a KVM, configured with 256 logical cpus.

                                  |  before  |  after   |

Dipendra KhadkaandAndrew Morton 29ec27805f mm/oom_kill: remove unnecessary integer promotion in format string
The 'h' length modifier in '%hd' is unnecessary as short integers are
promoted to int in variadic functions.  Use '%d' instead.

Checkpatch flags the 'h' modifier as unnecessary for this reason, and
many other subsystems have moved to using %d for promoted types. 
Hence, I think this patch aligns with kernel coding practices.

Currently kernel dumps memory state on oom and allocation failures.  One
of the question usually raised on those dumps is why the kernel has not
reclaimed the reclaimable memory instead of triggering oom.  One potential
reason is the usage of memory protection provided by memcg.  So, let's
also dump the memory protected by the memcg in such reports to ease the
debugging.

zhongjinjiandAndrew Morton 5e1953dc71 mm/oom_kill: the OOM reaper traverses the VMA maple tree in reverse order
Although the oom_reaper is delayed and it gives the oom victim chance to
clean up its address space this might take a while especially for
processes with a large address space footprint.  In those cases oom_reaper
might start racing with the dying task and compete for shared resources -
e.g.  page table lock contention has been observed.

Reduce those races by reaping the oom victim from the other end of the
address space.

It is also a significant improvement for process_mrelease().  When a
process is killed, process_mrelease is used to reap the killed process and
often runs concurrently with the dying task.  The test data shows that
after applying the patch, lock contention is greatly reduced during the
procedure of reaping the killed process.

The test is conducted on arm64.  The following basic perf numbers show
that applying this patch significantly reduces pte spin lock contention.

Without the patch:
|--99.57%-- oom_reaper
|    |--73.58%-- unmap_page_range
|    |    |--8.67%-- [hit in function]
|    |    |--41.59%-- __pte_offset_map_lock
|    |    |--29.47%-- folio_remove_rmap_ptes
|    |    |--16.11%-- tlb_flush_mmu
|    |--19.94%-- tlb_finish_mmu
|    |--3.21%-- folio_remove_rmap_ptes

With the patch:
|--99.53%-- oom_reaper
|    |--55.77%-- unmap_page_range
|    |    |--20.49%-- [hit in function]
|    |    |--58.30%-- folio_remove_rmap_ptes
|    |    |--11.48%-- tlb_flush_mmu
|    |    |--3.33%-- folio_mark_accessed
|    |--32.21%-- tlb_finish_mmu
|    |--6.93%-- folio_remove_rmap_ptes
|    |--0.69%-- __pte_offset_map_lock

Detailed breakdowns for both scenarios are provided below.  The cumulative
time for oom_reaper plus exit_mmap(victim) in both cases is also
summarized, making the performance improvements clear.

+----------------------------------------------------------------+
| Category                      | Applying patch | Without patch |
+-------------------------------+----------------+---------------+
| Total running time            |    132.6       |    167.1      |
|   (exit_mmap + reaper work)   |  72.4 + 60.2   |  90.7 + 76.4  |
+-------------------------------+----------------+---------------+
| Time waiting for pte spinlock |     1.0        |    33.1       |
|   (exit_mmap + reaper work)   |   0.4 + 0.6    |  10.0 + 23.1  |
+-------------------------------+----------------+---------------+
| folio_remove_rmap_ptes time   |    42.0        |    41.3       |
|   (exit_mmap + reaper work)   |  18.4 + 23.6   |  22.4 + 18.9  |
+----------------------------------------------------------------+

From this report, we can see that:

1. The reduction in total time comes mainly from the decrease in time
   spent on pte spinlock and other locks.

2. oom_reaper performs more work in some areas, but at the same time,
   exit_mmap also handles certain tasks more efficiently, such as
   folio_remove_rmap_ptes.

Here is a more detailed perf report. [1]

zhongjinjiandAndrew Morton 59d4d36158 mm/oom_kill: thaw the entire OOM victim process
Patch series "Improvements to Victim Process Thawing and OOM Reaper
Traversal Order", v10.

This patch series focuses on optimizing victim process thawing and
refining the traversal order of the OOM reaper.  Since __thaw_task() is
used to thaw a single thread of the victim, thawing only one thread cannot
guarantee the exit of the OOM victim when it is frozen.  Patch 1 thaw the
entire process of the OOM victim to ensure that OOM victims are able to
terminate themselves.  Even if the oom_reaper is delayed, patch 2 is still
beneficial for reaping processes with a large address space footprint, and
it also greatly improves process_mrelease.


This patch (of 10):

OOM killer is a mechanism that selects and kills processes when the system
runs out of memory to reclaim resources and keep the system stable.  But
the oom victim cannot terminate on its own when it is frozen, even if the
OOM victim task is thawed through __thaw_task().  This is because
__thaw_task() can only thaw a single OOM victim thread, and cannot thaw
the entire OOM victim process.

In addition, freezing_slow_path() determines whether a task is an OOM
victim by checking the task's TIF_MEMDIE flag.  When a task is identified
as an OOM victim, the freezer bypasses both PM freezing and cgroup
freezing states to thaw it.

Historically, TIF_MEMDIE was a "this is the oom victim & it has access to
memory reserves" flag in the past.  It has that thread vs.  process
problems and tsk_is_oom_victim was introduced later to get rid of them and
other issues as well as the guarantee that we can identify the oom
victim's mm reliably for other oom_reaper.

Therefore, thaw_process() is introduced to unfreeze all threads within the
OOM victim process, ensuring that every thread is properly thawed.  The
freezer now uses tsk_is_oom_victim() to determine OOM victim status,
allowing all victim threads to be unfrozen as necessary.

With this change, the entire OOM victim process will be thawed when an OOM
event occurs, ensuring that the victim can terminate on its own.

Lorenzo StoakesandAndrew Morton 12e423ba4e mm: convert core mm to mm_flags_*() accessors
As part of the effort to move to mm->flags becoming a bitmap field,
convert existing users to making use of the mm_flags_*() accessors which
will, when the conversion is complete, be the only means of accessing
mm_struct flags.

This will result in the debug output being that of a bitmap output, which
will result in a minor change here, but since this is for debug only, this
should have no bearing.

Otherwise, no functional changes intended.

Joel Granados 1751f872cc treewide: const qualify ctl_tables where applicable
Add the const qualifier to all the ctl_tables in the tree except for
watchdog_hardlockup_sysctl, memory_allocation_profiling_sysctls,
loadpin_sysctl_table and the ones calling register_net_sysctl (./net,
drivers/inifiniband dirs). These are special cases as they use a
registration function with a non-const qualified ctl_table argument or
modify the arrays before passing them on to the registration function.

Constifying ctl_table structs will prevent the modification of
proc_handler function pointers as the arrays would reside in .rodata.
This is made possible after commit 78eb4ea25c ("sysctl: treewide:
constify the ctl_table argument of proc_handlers") constified all the
proc_handlers.

Created this by running an spatch followed by a sed command:

This is because thousands of processes are in the OOM cgroup, it takes a
long time to traverse all of them.  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.

The linux/sched/coredump.h has include the mm_types.h, so the C files
related to coredump does not need to change head file inclusion.  In
addition, the inclusion of sched/coredump.h now can be deleted from the C
files that irrelevant to core dump.

the overall build time size of the kernel and run time memory bloat by ~64
bytes per sentinel (further information Link :

Remove sentinel from all files under mm/ that register a sysctl table.

Carlos GaloandAndrew Morton 72ba14deb4 mm: update mark_victim tracepoints fields
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.

Yong WangandAndrew Morton 27873192ac mm, oom:dump_tasks add rss detailed information printing
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/<pid>/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

This patch (of 7):

Since commit eb8589b4f8 ("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.

Michal HockoandAndrew Morton 974f4367dd mm: reduce noise in show_mem for lowmem allocations
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.

Suren BaghdasaryanandAndrew Morton b3541d912a mm: delete unused MMF_OOM_VICTIM flag
With the last usage of MMF_OOM_VICTIM in exit_mmap gone, this flag is now
unused and can be removed.

Suren BaghdasaryanandAndrew Morton bf3980c852 mm: drop oom code from exit_mmap
The primary reason to invoke the oom reaper from the exit_mmap path used
to be a prevention of an excessive oom killing if the oom victim exit
races with the oom reaper (see [1] for more details).  The invocation has
moved around since then because of the interaction with the munlock logic
but the underlying reason has remained the same (see [2]).

Munlock code is no longer a problem since [3] and there shouldn't be any
blocking operation before the memory is unmapped by exit_mmap so the oom
reaper invocation can be dropped.  The unmapping part can be done with the
non-exclusive mmap_sem and the exclusive one is only required when page
tables are freed.

Remove the oom_reaper from exit_mmap which will make the code easier to
read.  This is really unlikely to make any observable difference although
some microbenchmarks could benefit from one less branch that needs to be
evaluated even though it almost never is true.

[2] 27ae357fa8 ("mm, oom: fix concurrent munlock and oom reaper unmap, v3")
[3] a213e5cf71 ("mm/munlock: delete munlock_vma_pages_all(), allow oomreap")
