Currently __set_oom_adj loops through all processes in the system to keep
oom_score_adj and oom_score_adj_min in sync between processes sharing
their mm. This is done for any task with more that one mm_users, which
includes processes with multiple threads (sharing mm and signals).
However for such processes the loop is unnecessary because their signal
structure is shared as well.
Android updates oom_score_adj whenever a tasks changes its role
(background/foreground/...) or binds to/unbinds from a service, making it
more/less important. Such operation can happen frequently. We noticed
that updates to oom_score_adj became more expensive and after further
investigation found out that the patch mentioned in "Fixes" introduced a
regression. Using Pixel 4 with a typical Android workload, write time to
oom_score_adj increased from ~3.57us to ~362us. Moreover this regression
linearly depends on the number of multi-threaded processes running on the
system.
Mark the mm with a new MMF_MULTIPROCESS flag bit when task is created with
(CLONE_VM && !CLONE_THREAD && !CLONE_VFORK). Change __set_oom_adj to use
MMF_MULTIPROCESS instead of mm_users to decide whether oom_score_adj
update should be synchronized between multiple processes. To prevent
races between clone() and __set_oom_adj(), when oom_score_adj of the
process being cloned might be modified from userspace, we use
oom_adj_mutex. Its scope is changed to global.
The combination of (CLONE_VM && !CLONE_THREAD) is rarely used except for
the case of vfork(). To prevent performance regressions of vfork(), we
skip taking oom_adj_mutex and setting MMF_MULTIPROCESS when CLONE_VFORK is
specified. Clearing the MMF_MULTIPROCESS flag (when the last process
sharing the mm exits) is left out of this patch to keep it simple and
because it is believed that this threading model is rare. Should there
ever be a need for optimizing that case as well, it can be done by hooking
into the exit path, likely following the mm_update_next_owner pattern.
With the combination of (CLONE_VM && !CLONE_THREAD && !CLONE_VFORK) being
quite rare, the regression is gone after the change is applied.

When the OOM killer finds a victim and tryies to kill it, if the victim is
already exiting, the task mm will be NULL and no process will be killed.
But the dump_header() has been already executed, so it will be strange to
dump so much information without killing a process. We'd better show some
helpful information to indicate why this happens.

Recently we found an issue on our production environment that when memcg
oom is triggered the oom killer doesn't chose the process with largest
resident memory but chose the first scanned process. Note that all
processes in this memcg have the same oom_score_adj, so the oom killer
should chose the process with largest resident memory.

We can find that the first scanned process 5740 (pause) was killed, but
its rss is only one page. That is because, when we calculate the oom
badness in oom_badness(), we always ignore the negtive point and convert
all of these negtive points to 1. Now as oom_score_adj of all the
processes in this targeted memcg have the same value -998, the points of
these processes are all negtive value. As a result, the first scanned
process will be killed.
The oom_socre_adj (-998) in this memcg is set by kubelet, because it is a
a Guaranteed pod, which has higher priority to prevent from being killed
by system oom.
To fix this issue, we should make the calculation of oom point more
accurate. We can achieve it by convert the chosen_point from 'unsigned
long' to 'long'.

In order to prepare for per-object slab memory accounting, convert
NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE and NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE vmstat items to bytes.
To make it obvious, rename them to NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE_B and
NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE_B (similar to NR_KERNEL_STACK_KB).
Internally global and per-node counters are stored in pages, however memcg
and lruvec counters are stored in bytes. This scheme may look weird, but
only for now. As soon as slab pages will be shared between multiple
cgroups, global and node counters will reflect the total number of slab
pages. However memcg and lruvec counters will be used for per-memcg slab
memory tracking, which will take separate kernel objects in the account.
Keeping global and node counters in pages helps to avoid additional
overhead.
The size of slab memory shouldn't exceed 4Gb on 32-bit machines, so it
will fit into atomic_long_t we use for vmstats.

classzone_idx is just different name for high_zoneidx now. So, integrate
them and add some comment to struct alloc_context in order to reduce
future confusion about the meaning of this variable.
The accessor, ac_classzone_idx() is also removed since it isn't needed
after integration.
In addition to integration, this patch also renames high_zoneidx to
highest_zoneidx since it represents more precise meaning.

When a process cannot be oom reaped, for whatever reason, currently the
list of locks that are held is currently dumped to the kernel log.
Much more interesting is the stack trace of the victim that cannot be
reaped. If the stack trace is dumped, we have the ability to find
related occurrences in the same kernel code and hopefully solve the
issue that is making it wedged.
Dump the stack trace when a process fails to be oom reaped.

Patch series "Introduce MADV_COLD and MADV_PAGEOUT", v7.
- Background
The Android terminology used for forking a new process and starting an app
from scratch is a cold start, while resuming an existing app is a hot
start. While we continually try to improve the performance of cold
starts, hot starts will always be significantly less power hungry as well
as faster so we are trying to make hot start more likely than cold start.
To increase hot start, Android userspace manages the order that apps
should be killed in a process called ActivityManagerService.
ActivityManagerService tracks every Android app or service that the user
could be interacting with at any time and translates that into a ranked
list for lmkd(low memory killer daemon). They are likely to be killed by
lmkd if the system has to reclaim memory. In that sense they are similar
to entries in any other cache. Those apps are kept alive for
opportunistic performance improvements but those performance improvements
will vary based on the memory requirements of individual workloads.
- Problem
Naturally, cached apps were dominant consumers of memory on the system.
However, they were not significant consumers of swap even though they are
good candidate for swap. Under investigation, swapping out only begins
once the low zone watermark is hit and kswapd wakes up, but the overall
allocation rate in the system might trip lmkd thresholds and cause a
cached process to be killed(we measured performance swapping out vs.
zapping the memory by killing a process. Unsurprisingly, zapping is 10x
times faster even though we use zram which is much faster than real
storage) so kill from lmkd will often satisfy the high zone watermark,
resulting in very few pages actually being moved to swap.
- Approach
The approach we chose was to use a new interface to allow userspace to
proactively reclaim entire processes by leveraging platform information.
This allowed us to bypass the inaccuracy of the kernel’s LRUs for pages
that are known to be cold from userspace and to avoid races with lmkd by
reclaiming apps as soon as they entered the cached state. Additionally,
it could provide many chances for platform to use much information to
optimize memory efficiency.
To achieve the goal, the patchset introduce two new options for madvise.
One is MADV_COLD which will deactivate activated pages and the other is
MADV_PAGEOUT which will reclaim private pages instantly. These new
options complement MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE by adding non-destructive
ways to gain some free memory space. MADV_PAGEOUT is similar to
MADV_DONTNEED in a way that it hints the kernel that memory region is not
currently needed and should be reclaimed immediately; MADV_COLD is similar
to MADV_FREE in a way that it hints the kernel that memory region is not
currently needed and should be reclaimed when memory pressure rises.
This patch (of 5):
When a process expects no accesses to a certain memory range, it could
give a hint to kernel that the pages can be reclaimed when memory pressure
happens but data should be preserved for future use. This could reduce
workingset eviction so it ends up increasing performance.
This patch introduces the new MADV_COLD hint to madvise(2) syscall.
MADV_COLD can be used by a process to mark a memory range as not expected
to be used in the near future. The hint can help kernel in deciding which
pages to evict early during memory pressure.
It works for every LRU pages like MADV_[DONTNEED|FREE]. IOW, It moves
active file page -> inactive file LRU
active anon page -> inacdtive anon LRU
Unlike MADV_FREE, it doesn't move active anonymous pages to inactive file
LRU's head because MADV_COLD is a little bit different symantic.
MADV_FREE means it's okay to discard when the memory pressure because the
content of the page is *garbage* so freeing such pages is almost zero
overhead since we don't need to swap out and access afterward causes just
minor fault. Thus, it would make sense to put those freeable pages in
inactive file LRU to compete other used-once pages. It makes sense for
implmentaion point of view, too because it's not swapbacked memory any
longer until it would be re-dirtied. Even, it could give a bonus to make
them be reclaimed on swapless system. However, MADV_COLD doesn't mean
garbage so reclaiming them requires swap-out/in in the end so it's bigger
cost. Since we have designed VM LRU aging based on cost-model, anonymous
cold pages would be better to position inactive anon's LRU list, not file
LRU. Furthermore, it would help to avoid unnecessary scanning if system
doesn't have a swap device. Let's start simpler way without adding
complexity at this moment. However, keep in mind, too that it's a caveat
that workloads with a lot of pages cache are likely to ignore MADV_COLD on
anonymous memory because we rarely age anonymous LRU lists.
* man-page material
MADV_COLD (since Linux x.x)
Pages in the specified regions will be treated as less-recently-accessed
compared to pages in the system with similar access frequencies. In
contrast to MADV_FREE, the contents of the region are preserved regardless
of subsequent writes to pages.
MADV_COLD cannot be applied to locked pages, Huge TLB pages, or VM_PFNMAP
pages.

constrained_alloc() calculates the size of the oom domain by using
node_spanned_pages which is incorrect because this is the full range of
the physical memory range that the numa node occupies rather than the
memory that backs that range which is represented by node_present_pages.
Sparsely populated nodes (e.g. after memory hot remove or simply sparse
due to memory layout) can have really a large difference between the two.
This shouldn't really cause any real user observable problems because the
oom calculates a ratio against totalpages and used memory cannot exceed
present pages but it is confusing and wrong from code point of view.

For an OOM event: print oom_score_adj value for the OOM Killed process to
document what the oom score adjust value was at the time the process was
OOM Killed. The adjustment value can be set by user code and it affects
the resulting oom_score so it is used to influence kill process selection.
When eligible tasks are not printed (sysctl oom_dump_tasks = 0) printing
this value is the only documentation of the value for the process being
killed. Having this value on the Killed process message is useful to
document if a miscconfiguration occurred or to confirm that the
oom_score_adj configuration applies as expected.
An example which illustates both misconfiguration and validation that the
oom_score_adj was applied as expected is:
Aug 14 23:00:02 testserver kernel: Out of memory: Killed process 2692
(systemd-udevd) total-vm:1056800kB, anon-rss:1052760kB, file-rss:4kB,
shmem-rss:0kB pgtables:22kB oom_score_adj:1000
The systemd-udevd is a critical system application that should have an
oom_score_adj of -1000. It was miconfigured to have a adjustment of 1000
making it a highly favored OOM kill target process. The output documents
both the misconfiguration and the fact that the process was correctly
targeted by OOM due to the miconfiguration. This can be quite helpful for
triage and problem determination.
The addition of the pgtables_bytes shows page table usage by the process
and is a useful measure of the memory size of the process.

In the event of an oom kill, useful information about the killed process
is printed to dmesg. Users, especially system administrators, will find
it useful to immediately see the UID of the process.
We already print uid when dumping eligible tasks so it is not overly hard
to find that information in the oom report. However this information is
unavailable when dumping of eligible tasks is disabled.
In the following example, abuse_the_ram is the name of a program that
attempts to iteratively allocate all available memory until it is stopped
by force.

oom_unkillable_task() can be called from three different contexts i.e.
global OOM, memcg OOM and oom_score procfs interface. At the moment
oom_unkillable_task() does a task_in_mem_cgroup() check on the given
process. Since there is no reason to perform task_in_mem_cgroup()
check for global OOM and oom_score procfs interface, those contexts
provide NULL memcg and skips the task_in_mem_cgroup() check. However
for memcg OOM context, the oom_unkillable_task() is always called from
mem_cgroup_scan_tasks() and thus task_in_mem_cgroup() check becomes
redundant and effectively dead code. So, just remove the
task_in_mem_cgroup() check altogether.

dump_tasks() traverses all the existing processes even for the memcg OOM
context which is not only unnecessary but also wasteful. This imposes a
long RCU critical section even from a contained context which can be quite
disruptive.
Change dump_tasks() to be aligned with select_bad_process and use
mem_cgroup_scan_tasks to selectively traverse only processes of the target
memcg hierarchy during memcg OOM.

but it hasn't been set before. So the value of it is always the default

CPU page table update can happens for many reasons, not only as a result
of a syscall (munmap(), mprotect(), mremap(), madvise(), ...) but also as
a result of kernel activities (memory compression, reclaim, migration,
...).
Users of mmu notifier API track changes to the CPU page table and take
specific action for them. While current API only provide range of virtual
address affected by the change, not why the changes is happening.
This patchset do the initial mechanical convertion of all the places that
calls mmu_notifier_range_init to also provide the default MMU_NOTIFY_UNMAP
event as well as the vma if it is know (most invalidation happens against
a given vma). Passing down the vma allows the users of mmu notifier to
inspect the new vma page protection.
The MMU_NOTIFY_UNMAP is always the safe default as users of mmu notifier
should assume that every for the range is going away when that event
happens. A latter patch do convert mm call path to use a more appropriate
events for each call.
This is done as 2 patches so that no call site is forgotten especialy
as it uses this following coccinelle patch:

Since the start of the git history of Linux, the kernel after selecting
the worst process to be oom-killed, prefer to kill its child (if the
child does not share mm with the parent). Later it was changed to
prefer to kill a child who is worst. If the parent is still the worst
then the parent will be killed.
This heuristic assumes that the children did less work than their parent
and by killing one of them, the work lost will be less. However this is
very workload dependent. If there is a workload which can benefit from
this heuristic, can use oom_score_adj to prefer children to be killed
before the parent.
The select_bad_process() has already selected the worst process in the
system/memcg. There is no need to recheck the badness of its children
and hoping to find a worse candidate. That's a lot of unneeded racy
work. Also the heuristic is dangerous because it make fork bomb like
workloads to recover much later because we constantly pick and kill
processes which are not memory hogs. So, let's remove this whole
heuristic.

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.

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,

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 855b018325 ("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.

The current oom report doesn't display victim's memcg context during the
global OOM situation. While this information is not strictly needed, it
can be really helpful for containerized environments to locate which
container has lost a process. Now that we have a single line for the oom
context, we can trivially add both the oom memcg (this can be either
global_oom or a specific memcg which hits its hard limits) and task_memcg
which is the victim's memcg.
Below is the single line output in the oom report after this patch.
- global oom context information:
oom-kill:constraint=<constraint>,nodemask=<nodemask>,cpuset=<cpuset>,mems_allowed=<mems_allowed>,global_oom,task_memcg=<memcg>,task=<comm>,pid=<pid>,uid=<uid>
- memcg oom context information:
oom-kill:constraint=<constraint>,nodemask=<nodemask>,cpuset=<cpuset>,mems_allowed=<mems_allowed>,oom_memcg=<memcg>,task_memcg=<memcg>,task=<comm>,pid=<pid>,uid=<uid>

totalram_pages and totalhigh_pages are made static inline function.
Main motivation was that managed_page_count_lock handling was complicating
things. It was discussed in length here,
https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/995739/#1181785 So it seemes
better to remove the lock and convert variables to atomic, with preventing
poteintial store-to-read tearing as a bonus.

Pull siginfo updates from Eric Biederman:
"I have been slowly sorting out siginfo and this is the culmination of
that work.
The primary result is in several ways the signal infrastructure has
been made less error prone. The code has been updated so that manually
specifying SEND_SIG_FORCED is never necessary. The conversion to the
new siginfo sending functions is now complete, which makes it
difficult to send a signal without filling in the proper siginfo
fields.
At the tail end of the patchset comes the optimization of decreasing
the size of struct siginfo in the kernel from 128 bytes to about 48
bytes on 64bit. The fundamental observation that enables this is by
definition none of the known ways to use struct siginfo uses the extra
bytes.
This comes at the cost of a small user space observable difference.
For the rare case of siginfo being injected into the kernel only what
can be copied into kernel_siginfo is delivered to the destination, the
rest of the bytes are set to 0. For cases where the signal and the
si_code are known this is safe, because we know those bytes are not
used. For cases where the signal and si_code combination is unknown
the bits that won't fit into struct kernel_siginfo are tested to
verify they are zero, and the send fails if they are not.
I made an extensive search through userspace code and I could not find
anything that would break because of the above change. If it turns out
I did break something it will take just the revert of a single change
to restore kernel_siginfo to the same size as userspace siginfo.
Testing did reveal dependencies on preferring the signo passed to
sigqueueinfo over si->signo, so bit the bullet and added the
complexity necessary to handle that case.
Testing also revealed bad things can happen if a negative signal
number is passed into the system calls. Something no sane application
will do but something a malicious program or a fuzzer might do. So I
have fixed the code that performs the bounds checks to ensure negative
signal numbers are handled"

...
Now that siginfo is never allocated for SIGKILL and SIGSTOP there is
no difference between SEND_SIG_PRIV and SEND_SIG_FORCED for SIGKILL
and SIGSTOP. This makes SEND_SIG_FORCED unnecessary and redundant in
the presence of SIGKILL and SIGSTOP. Therefore change users of
SEND_SIG_FORCED that are sending SIGKILL or SIGSTOP to use
SEND_SIG_PRIV instead.
This removes the last users of SEND_SIG_FORCED.

Commit 93065ac753 ("mm, oom: distinguish blockable mode for mmu
notifiers") has added an ability to skip over vmas with blockable mmu
notifiers. This however didn't call tlb_finish_mmu as it should.
As a result inc_tlb_flush_pending has been called without its pairing
dec_tlb_flush_pending and all callers mm_tlb_flush_pending would flush
even though this is not really needed. This alone is not harmful and it
seems there shouldn't be any such callers for oom victims at all but
there is no real reason to skip tlb_finish_mmu on early skip either so
call it.

When the memcg OOM killer runs out of killable tasks, it currently
prints a WARN with no further OOM context. This has caused some user
confusion.
Warnings indicate a kernel problem. In a reported case, however, the
situation was triggered by a nonsensical memcg configuration (hard limit
set to 0). But without any VM context this wasn't obvious from the
report, and it took some back and forth on the mailing list to identify
what is actually a trivial issue.
Handle this OOM condition like we handle it in the global OOM killer:
dump the full OOM context and tell the user we ran out of tasks.
This way the user can identify misconfigurations easily by themselves
and rectify the problem - without having to go through the hassle of
running into an obscure but unsettling warning, finding the appropriate
kernel mailing list and waiting for a kernel developer to remote-analyze
that the memcg configuration caused this.
If users cannot make sense of why the OOM killer was triggered or why it
failed, they will still report it to the mailing list, we know that from
experience. So in case there is an actual kernel bug causing this,
kernel developers will very likely hear about it.

For some workloads an intervention from the OOM killer can be painful.
Killing a random task can bring the workload into an inconsistent state.
Historically, there are two common solutions for this
problem:
1) enabling panic_on_oom,
2) using a userspace daemon to monitor OOMs and kill
all outstanding processes.
Both approaches have their downsides: rebooting on each OOM is an obvious
waste of capacity, and handling all in userspace is tricky and requires a
userspace agent, which will monitor all cgroups for OOMs.
In most cases an in-kernel after-OOM cleaning-up mechanism can eliminate
the necessity of enabling panic_on_oom. Also, it can simplify the cgroup
management for userspace applications.
This commit introduces a new knob for cgroup v2 memory controller:
memory.oom.group. The knob determines whether the cgroup should be
treated as an indivisible workload by the OOM killer. If set, all tasks
belonging to the cgroup or to its descendants (if the memory cgroup is not
a leaf cgroup) are killed together or not at all.
To determine which cgroup has to be killed, we do traverse the cgroup
hierarchy from the victim task's cgroup up to the OOMing cgroup (or root)
and looking for the highest-level cgroup with memory.oom.group set.
Tasks with the OOM protection (oom_score_adj set to -1000) are treated as
an exception and are never killed.
This patch doesn't change the OOM victim selection algorithm.

Patch series "introduce memory.oom.group", v2.
This is a tiny implementation of cgroup-aware OOM killer, which adds an
ability to kill a cgroup as a single unit and so guarantee the integrity
of the workload.
Although it has only a limited functionality in comparison to what now
resides in the mm tree (it doesn't change the victim task selection
algorithm, doesn't look at memory stas on cgroup level, etc), it's also
much simpler and more straightforward. So, hopefully, we can avoid having
long debates here, as we had with the full implementation.
As it doesn't prevent any futher development, and implements an useful and
complete feature, it looks as a sane way forward.
This patch (of 2):
oom_kill_process() consists of two logical parts: the first one is
responsible for considering task's children as a potential victim and
printing the debug information. The second half is responsible for
sending SIGKILL to all tasks sharing the mm struct with the given victim.
This commit splits oom_kill_process() with an intention to re-use the the
second half: __oom_kill_process().
The cgroup-aware OOM killer will kill multiple tasks belonging to the
victim cgroup. We don't need to print the debug information for the each
task, as well as play with task selection (considering task's children),
so we can't use the existing oom_kill_process().

Andrew has noticed some inconsistencies in oom_reap_task_mm. Notably
- Undocumented return value.
- comment "failed to reap part..." is misleading - sounds like it's
referring to something which happened in the past, is in fact
referring to something which might happen in the future.
- fails to call trace_finish_task_reaping() in one case
- code duplication.
- Increases mmap_sem hold time a little by moving
trace_finish_task_reaping() inside the locked region. So sue me ;)
- Sharing the finish: path means that the trace event won't
distinguish between the two sources of finishing.
Add a short explanation for the return value and fix the rest by
reorganizing the function a bit to have unified function exit paths.

oom_reaper used to rely on the oom_lock since e2fe14564d ("oom_reaper:
close race with exiting task"). We do not really need the lock anymore
though. 2129258024 ("mm: oom: let oom_reap_task and exit_mmap run
concurrently") has removed serialization with the exit path based on the
mm reference count and so we do not really rely on the oom_lock anymore.
Tetsuo was arguing that at least MMF_OOM_SKIP should be set under the lock
to prevent from races when the page allocator didn't manage to get the
freed (reaped) memory in __alloc_pages_may_oom but it sees the flag later
on and move on to another victim. Although this is possible in principle
let's wait for it to actually happen in real life before we make the
locking more complex again.
Therefore remove the oom_lock for oom_reaper paths (both exit_mmap and
oom_reap_task_mm). The reaper serializes with exit_mmap by mmap_sem +
MMF_OOM_SKIP flag. There is no synchronization with out_of_memory path
now.

There are several blockable mmu notifiers which might sleep in
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start and that is a problem for the
oom_reaper because it needs to guarantee a forward progress so it cannot
depend on any sleepable locks.
Currently we simply back off and mark an oom victim with blockable mmu
notifiers as done after a short sleep. That can result in selecting a new
oom victim prematurely because the previous one still hasn't torn its
memory down yet.
We can do much better though. Even if mmu notifiers use sleepable locks
there is no reason to automatically assume those locks are held. Moreover
majority of notifiers only care about a portion of the address space and
there is absolutely zero reason to fail when we are unmapping an unrelated
range. Many notifiers do really block and wait for HW which is harder to
handle and we have to bail out though.
This patch handles the low hanging fruit.
__mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start gets a blockable flag and callbacks
are not allowed to sleep if the flag is set to false. This is achieved by
using trylock instead of the sleepable lock for most callbacks and
continue as long as we do not block down the call chain.
I think we can improve that even further because there is a common pattern
to do a range lookup first and then do something about that. The first
part can be done without a sleeping lock in most cases AFAICS.
The oom_reaper end then simply retries if there is at least one notifier
which couldn't make any progress in !blockable mode. A retry loop is
already implemented to wait for the mmap_sem and this is basically the
same thing.
The simplest way for driver developers to test this code path is to wrap
userspace code which uses these notifiers into a memcg and set the hard
limit to hit the oom. This can be done e.g. after the test faults in all
the mmu notifier managed memory and set the hard limit to something really
small. Then we are looking for a proper process tear down.

This contains the changes to remove the need for that restart.
This set of changes is split into several parts:

something only for very special cases. The part starts using
PIDTYPE_TGID enough so that in __send_signal where signals are
actually delivered we know if the signal is being sent to a a group
of processes or just a single process.
- With that prep work out of the way the logic in fork is modified so
that fork logically makes signals received while it is running
appear to be received after the fork completes"

Tetsuo has pointed out that since 27ae357fa8 ("mm, oom: fix concurrent
munlock and oom reaper unmap, v3") we have a strong synchronization
between the oom_killer and victim's exiting because both have to take
the oom_lock. Therefore the original heuristic to sleep for a short
time in out_of_memory doesn't serve the original purpose.
Moreover Tetsuo has noticed that the short sleep can be more harmful
than actually useful. Hammering the system with many processes can lead
to a starvation when the task holding the oom_lock can block for a long
time (minutes) and block any further progress because the oom_reaper
depends on the oom_lock as well.
Drop the short sleep from out_of_memory when we hold the lock. Keep the
sleep when the trylock fails to throttle the concurrent OOM paths a bit.
This should be solved in a more reasonable way (e.g. sleep proportional
to the time spent in the active reclaiming etc.) but this is much more
complex thing to achieve. This is a quick fixup to remove a stale code.

Commit e27be240df ("mm: memcg: make sure memory.events is uptodate
when waking pollers") converted most of memcg event counters to
per-memcg atomics, which made them less confusing for a user. The
"oom_kill" counter remained untouched, so now it behaves differently
than other counters (including "oom"). This adds nothing but confusion.
Let's fix this by adding the MEMCG_OOM_KILL event, and follow the
MEMCG_OOM approach.
This also removes a hack from count_memcg_event_mm(), introduced earlier
specially for the OOM_KILL counter.
