Presently, per-mm statistics counter is defined by macro in sched.h
This patch modifies it to
- defined in mm.h as inlinf functions
- use array instead of macro's name creation.
This patch is for reducing patch size in future patch to modify
implementation of per-mm counter.

Presently the oom-killer is memcg aware and it finds the worst process
from processes under memcg(s) in oom. Then, it kills victim's child
first.
It may kill a child in another cgroup and may not be any help for
recovery. And it will break the assumption users have.
This patch fixes it.

task_in_mem_cgroup(), which is called by select_bad_process() to check
whether a task can be a candidate for being oom-killed from memcg's limit,
checks "curr->use_hierarchy"("curr" is the mem_cgroup the task belongs
to).
But this check return true(it's false positive) when:
<some path>/aa use_hierarchy == 0 <- hitting limit
<some path>/aa/00 use_hierarchy == 1 <- the task belongs to
This leads to killing an innocent task in aa/00. This patch is a fix for
this bug. And this patch also fixes the arg for
mem_cgroup_print_oom_info(). We should print information of mem_cgroup
which the task being killed, not current, belongs to.

Fix node-oriented allocation handling in oom-kill.c I myself think of this
as a bugfix not as an ehnancement.
In these days, things are changed as
- alloc_pages() eats nodemask as its arguments, __alloc_pages_nodemask().
- mempolicy don't maintain its own private zonelists.
(And cpuset doesn't use nodemask for __alloc_pages_nodemask())
So, current oom-killer's check function is wrong.
This patch does
- check nodemask, if nodemask && nodemask doesn't cover all
node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY], this is CONSTRAINT_MEMORY_POLICY.
- Scan all zonelist under nodemask, if it hits cpuset's wall
this faiulre is from cpuset.
And
- modifies the caller of out_of_memory not to call oom if __GFP_THISNODE.
This doesn't change "current" behavior. If callers use __GFP_THISNODE
it should handle "page allocation failure" by itself.
- handle __GFP_NOFAIL+__GFP_THISNODE path.
This is something like a FIXME but this gfpmask is not used now.

The oom killer header, including information such as the allocation order
and gfp mask, current's cpuset and memory controller, call trace, and VM
state information is currently only shown when the oom killer has selected
a task to kill.
This information is omitted, however, when the oom killer panics either
because of panic_on_oom sysctl settings or when no killable task was
found. It is still relevant to know crucial pieces of information such as
the allocation order and VM state when diagnosing such issues, especially
at boot.
This patch displays the oom killer header whenever it panics so that bug

Currently, OOM logic callflow is here.
__out_of_memory()
select_bad_process() for each task
badness() calculate badness of one task
oom_kill_process() search child
oom_kill_task() kill target task and mm shared tasks with it
example, process-A have two thread, thread-A and thread-B and it have very
fat memory and each thread have following oom_adj and oom_score.
thread-A: oom_adj = OOM_DISABLE, oom_score = 0
thread-B: oom_adj = 0, oom_score = very-high
Then, select_bad_process() select thread-B, but oom_kill_task() refuse
kill the task because thread-A have OOM_DISABLE. Thus __out_of_memory()
call select_bad_process() again. but select_bad_process() select the same
task. It mean kernel fall in livelock.
The fact is, select_bad_process() must select killable task. otherwise
OOM logic go into livelock.
And root cause is, oom_adj shouldn't be per-thread value. it should be
per-process value because OOM-killer kill a process, not thread. Thus
This patch moves oomkilladj (now more appropriately named oom_adj) from
struct task_struct to struct signal_struct. it naturally prevent
select_bad_process() choose wrong task.

Just as the swapoff system call allocates many pages of RAM to various
processes, perhaps triggering OOM, so "echo 2 >/sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run"
(unmerge) is liable to allocate many pages of RAM to various processes,
perhaps triggering OOM; and each is normally run from a modest admin
process (swapoff or shell), easily repeated until it succeeds.
So treat unmerge_and_remove_all_rmap_items() in the same way that we treat
try_to_unuse(): generalize PF_SWAPOFF to PF_OOM_ORIGIN, and bracket both
with that, to ask the OOM killer to kill them first, to prevent them from
spawning more and more OOM kills.

The commit 2ff05b2b (oom: move oom_adj value) moveed the oom_adj value to
the mm_struct. It was a very good first step for sanitize OOM.
However Paul Menage reported the commit makes regression to his job
scheduler. Current OOM logic can kill OOM_DISABLED process.
Why? His program has the code of similar to the following.
...
set_oom_adj(OOM_DISABLE); /* The job scheduler never killed by oom */
...
if (vfork() == 0) {
set_oom_adj(0); /* Invoked child can be killed */
execve("foo-bar-cmd");
}
....
vfork() parent and child are shared the same mm_struct. then above
set_oom_adj(0) doesn't only change oom_adj for vfork() child, it's also
change oom_adj for vfork() parent. Then, vfork() parent (job scheduler)
lost OOM immune and it was killed.
Actually, fork-setting-exec idiom is very frequently used in userland program.
We must not break this assumption.
Then, this patch revert commit 2ff05b2b and related commit.

When a task is chosen for oom kill and is found to be PF_EXITING,
__oom_kill_task() is called to elevate the task's timeslice and give it
access to memory reserves so that it may quickly exit.
This privilege is unnecessary, however, if the task has already detached
its mm. Although its possible for the mm to become detached later since
task_lock() is not held, __oom_kill_task() will simply be a no-op in such
circumstances.
Subsequently, it is no longer necessary to warn about killing mm-less
tasks since it is a no-op.

This moves the check for OOM_DISABLE to the badness heuristic so it is
only necessary to hold task_lock() once. If the mm is OOM_DISABLE, the
score is 0, which is also correctly exported via /proc/pid/oom_score.
This requires that tasks with badness scores of 0 are prohibited from
being oom killed, which makes sense since they would not allow for future
memory freeing anyway.
Since the oom_adj value is a characteristic of an mm and not a task, it is
no longer necessary to check the oom_adj value for threads sharing the
same memory (except when simply issuing SIGKILLs for threads in other
thread groups).

The per-task oom_adj value is a characteristic of its mm more than the
task itself since it's not possible to oom kill any thread that shares the
mm. If a task were to be killed while attached to an mm that could not be
freed because another thread were set to OOM_DISABLE, it would have
needlessly been terminated since there is no potential for future memory
freeing.
This patch moves oomkilladj (now more appropriately named oom_adj) from
struct task_struct to struct mm_struct. This requires task_lock() on a
task to check its oom_adj value to protect against exec, but it's already
necessary to take the lock when dereferencing the mm to find the total VM
size for the badness heuristic.
This fixes a livelock if the oom killer chooses a task and another thread
sharing the same memory has an oom_adj value of OOM_DISABLE. This occurs
because oom_kill_task() repeatedly returns 1 and refuses to kill the
chosen task while select_bad_process() will repeatedly choose the same
task during the next retry.
Taking task_lock() in select_bad_process() to check for OOM_DISABLE and in
oom_kill_task() to check for threads sharing the same memory will be
removed in the next patch in this series where it will no longer be
necessary.
Writing to /proc/pid/oom_adj for a kthread will now return -EINVAL since
these threads are immune from oom killing already. They simply report an
oom_adj value of OOM_DISABLE.

mpol_rebind_mm(), which can be called from cpuset_attach(), does

OTOH, page fault path does down_read(mm->mmap_sem) and calls
mem_cgroup_try_charge_xxx(), which may eventually calls
mem_cgroup_out_of_memory(). And mem_cgroup_out_of_memory() calls
cgroup_lock(). This means cgroup_lock() can be called under

If those two paths race, deadlock can happen.
This patch avoid this deadlock by:

- define new mutex (memcg_tasklist) and serialize mem_cgroup_move_task()
(->attach handler of memory cgroup) and mem_cgroup_out_of_memory.

Rather than have the pagefault handler kill a process directly if it gets
a VM_FAULT_OOM, have it call into the OOM killer.
With increasingly sophisticated oom behaviour (cpusets, memory cgroups,
oom killing throttling, oom priority adjustment or selective disabling,
panic on oom, etc), it's silly to unconditionally kill the faulting
process at page fault time. Create a hook for pagefault oom path to call
into instead.

Fix the setting of PF_SUPERPRIV by __capable() as it could corrupt the flags
the target process if that is not the current process and it is trying to
change its own flags in a different way at the same time.
__capable() is using neither atomic ops nor locking to protect t->flags. This
patch removes __capable() and introduces has_capability() that doesn't set
PF_SUPERPRIV on the process being queried.
This patch further splits security_ptrace() in two:
(1) security_ptrace_may_access(). This passes judgement on whether one
process may access another only (PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH for ptrace() and
PTRACE_MODE_READ for /proc), and takes a pointer to the child process.
current is the parent.
(2) security_ptrace_traceme(). This passes judgement on PTRACE_TRACEME only,
and takes only a pointer to the parent process. current is the child.
In Smack and commoncap, this uses has_capability() to determine whether
the parent will be permitted to use PTRACE_ATTACH if normal checks fail.
This does not set PF_SUPERPRIV.
Two of the instances of __capable() actually only act on current, and so have
been changed to calls to capable().
Of the places that were using __capable():
(1) The OOM killer calls __capable() thrice when weighing the killability of a
process. All of these now use has_capability().
(2) cap_ptrace() and smack_ptrace() were using __capable() to check to see
whether the parent was allowed to trace any process. As mentioned above,
these have been split. For PTRACE_ATTACH and /proc, capable() is now
used, and for PTRACE_TRACEME, has_capability() is used.
(3) cap_safe_nice() only ever saw current, so now uses capable().
(4) smack_setprocattr() rejected accesses to tasks other than current just
after calling __capable(), so the order of these two tests have been
switched and capable() is used instead.
(5) In smack_file_send_sigiotask(), we need to allow privileged processes to
receive SIGIO on files they're manipulating.
(6) In smack_task_wait(), we let a process wait for a privileged process,
whether or not the process doing the waiting is privileged.
I've tested this with the LTP SELinux and syscalls testscripts.

Filtering zonelists requires very frequent use of zone_idx(). This is costly
as it involves a lookup of another structure and a substraction operation. As
the zone_idx is often required, it should be quickly accessible. The node idx
could also be stored here if it was found that accessing zone->node is
significant which may be the case on workloads where nodemasks are heavily
used.
This patch introduces a struct zoneref to store a zone pointer and a zone
index. The zonelist then consists of an array of these struct zonerefs which
are looked up as necessary. Helpers are given for accessing the zone index as
well as the node index.

Currently a node has two sets of zonelists, one for each zone type in the
system and a second set for GFP_THISNODE allocations. Based on the zones
allowed by a gfp mask, one of these zonelists is selected. All of these
zonelists consume memory and occupy cache lines.
This patch replaces the multiple zonelists per-node with two zonelists. The
first contains all populated zones in the system, ordered by distance, for
fallback allocations when the target/preferred node has no free pages. The
second contains all populated zones in the node suitable for GFP_THISNODE
allocations.
An iterator macro is introduced called for_each_zone_zonelist() that interates
through each zone allowed by the GFP flags in the selected zonelist.

Adds a new sysctl, 'oom_dump_tasks', that enables the kernel to produce a
dump of all system tasks (excluding kernel threads) when performing an
OOM-killing. Information includes pid, uid, tgid, vm size, rss, cpu,
oom_adj score, and name.
This is helpful for determining why there was an OOM condition and which
rogue task caused it.
It is configurable so that large systems, such as those with several
thousand tasks, do not incur a performance penalty associated with dumping
data they may not desire.
If an OOM was triggered as a result of a memory controller, the tasklist
shall be filtered to exclude tasks that are not a member of the same
cgroup.

Creates a helper function to return non-zero if a task is a member of a
memory controller:
int task_in_mem_cgroup(const struct task_struct *task,
const struct mem_cgroup *mem);
When the OOM killer is constrained by the memory controller, the exclusion
of tasks that are not a member of that controller was previously misplaced
and appeared in the badness scoring function. It should be excluded
during the tasklist scan in select_bad_process() instead.

Root processes are considered more important when out of memory and killing
proceses. The check for CAP_SYS_ADMIN was augmented with a check for
uid==0 or euid==0.
There are several possible ways to look at this:
1. uid comparisons are unnecessary, trust CAP_SYS_ADMIN
alone. However CAP_SYS_RESOURCE is the one that really
means "give me extra resources" so allow for that as
well.
2. Any privileged code should be protected, but uid is not
an indication of privilege. So we should check whether
any capabilities are raised.
3. uid==0 makes processes on the host as well as in containers
more important, so we should keep the existing checks.
4. uid==0 makes processes only on the host more important,
even without any capabilities. So we should be keeping
the (uid==0||euid==0) check but only when
userns==&init_user_ns.
I'm following number 1 here.

The patch supports legacy (32-bit) capability userspace, and where possible
translates 32-bit capabilities to/from userspace and the VFS to 64-bit
kernel space capabilities. If a capability set cannot be compressed into
32-bits for consumption by user space, the system call fails, with -ERANGE.
FWIW libcap-2.00 supports this change (and earlier capability formats)

The task_struct->pid member is going to be deprecated, so start
using the helpers (task_pid_nr/task_pid_vnr/task_pid_nr_ns) in
the kernel.
The first thing to start with is the pid, printed to dmesg - in
this case we may safely use task_pid_nr(). Besides, printks produce
more (much more) than a half of all the explicit pid usage.

With pid namespaces this field is now dangerous to use explicitly, so hide
it behind the helpers.
Also the pid and pgrp fields o task_struct and signal_struct are to be
deprecated. Unfortunately this patch cannot be sent right now as this
leads to tons of warnings, so start isolating them, and deprecate later.
Actually the p->tgid == pid has to be changed to has_group_leader_pid(),
but Oleg pointed out that in case of posix cpu timers this is the same, and
thread_group_leader() is more preferable.

is_init() is an ambiguous name for the pid==1 check. Split it into
is_global_init() and is_container_init().
A cgroup init has it's tsk->pid == 1.
A global init also has it's tsk->pid == 1 and it's active pid namespace
is the init_pid_ns. But rather than check the active pid namespace,
compare the task structure with 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper', which is
initialized during boot to the /sbin/init process and never changes.
Changelog:
2.6.22-rc4-mm2-pidns1:
- Use 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper' to determine if a given task is the
global init (/sbin/init) process. This would improve performance
and remove dependence on the task_pid().
2.6.21-mm2-pidns2:
- [Sukadev Bhattiprolu] Changed is_container_init() calls in {powerpc,
ppc,avr32}/traps.c for the _exception() call to is_global_init().
This way, we kill only the cgroup if the cgroup's init has a
bug rather than force a kernel panic.

There's no reason to sleep in try_set_zone_oom() or clear_zonelist_oom() if
the lock can't be acquired; it will be available soon enough once the zonelist
scanning is done. All other threads waiting for the OOM killer are also
contingent on the exiting task being able to acquire the lock in
clear_zonelist_oom() so it doesn't make sense to put it to sleep.

Instead of testing for overlap in the memory nodes of the the nearest
exclusive ancestor of both current and the candidate task, it is better to
simply test for intersection between the task's mems_allowed in their task
descriptors. This does not require taking callback_mutex since it is only
used as a hint in the badness scoring.
Tasks that do not have an intersection in their mems_allowed with the current
task are not explicitly restricted from being OOM killed because it is quite
possible that the candidate task has allocated memory there before and has
since changed its mems_allowed.
