Currently, search_binary_handler() tries to load binary loader module
using request_module() if a loader for the requested program is not yet
loaded. But second attempt of request_module() does not affect the result
of search_binary_handler().If request_module() triggered recursion, calling request_module() twice
causes 2 to the power of MAX_KMOD_CONCURRENT (= 50) repetitions. It is
not an infinite loop but is sufficient for users to consider as a hang up.Therefore, this patch changes not to call request_module() twice, making 1
to the power of MAX_KMOD_CONCURRENT repetitions in case of recursion.Signed-off-by: Tetsuo Handa

If an inode's mode permits opening /proc/PID/io and the resulting file
descriptor is kept across execve() of a setuid or similar binary, the
ptrace_may_access() check tries to prevent using this fd against the
task with escalated privileges.Unfortunately, there is a race in the check against execve(). If
execve() is processed after the ptrace check, but before the actual io
information gathering, io statistics will be gathered from the
privileged process. At least in theory this might lead to gathering
sensible information (like ssh/ftp password length) that wouldn't be
available otherwise.Holding task->signal->cred_guard_mutex while gathering the io
information should protect against the race.The order of locking is similar to the one inside of ptrace_attach():
first goes cred_guard_mutex, then lock_task_sighand().Signed-off-by: Vasiliy Kulikov

Change every occurence of / in comm and hostname to !. If the process
changes its name to contain /, the core is not dumped (if the directory
tree doesn't exist like that). The same with hostname being something
like myhost/3. Fix this behaviour by using the escape loop used in %E.
(We extract it to a separate function.)Now both with comm == myprocess/1 and hostname == myhost/1, the core is

[ This patch has already been accepted as commit 0ac0c0d0f837 but later
reverted (commit 35926ff5fba8) because it itroduced arch specific
__node_random which was defined only for x86 code so it broke other
archs. This is a followup without any arch specific code. Other than
that there are no functional changes.]Some workloads that create a large number of small files tend to assign
too many pages to node 0 (multi-node systems). Part of the reason is
that the rotor (in cpuset_mem_spread_node()) used to assign nodes starts
at node 0 for newly created tasks.This patch changes the rotor to be initialized to a random node number
of the cpuset.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix layout]

percpu_charge_mutex protects from multiple simultaneous per-cpu charge
caches draining because we might end up having too many work items. At
least this was the case until commit 26fe61684449 ("memcg: fix percpu
cached charge draining frequency") when we introduced a more targeted
draining for async mode.Now that also sync draining is targeted we can safely remove mutex
because we will not send more work than the current number of CPUs.
FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE protects from sending the same work multiple
times and stock->nr_pages == 0 protects from pointless sending a work if
there is obviously nothing to be done. This is of course racy but we
can live with it as the race window is really small (we would have to
see FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE cleared while nr_pages would be still
non-zero).The only remaining place where we can race is synchronous mode when we
rely on FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE test which might have been set by other
drainer on the same group but we should wait in that case as well.Signed-off-by: Michal Hocko

Currently we have two ways how to drain per-CPU caches for charges.
drain_all_stock_sync will synchronously drain all caches while
drain_all_stock_async will asynchronously drain only those that refer to
a given memory cgroup or its subtree in hierarchy. Targeted async
draining has been introduced by 26fe6168 (memcg: fix percpu cached
charge draining frequency) to reduce the cpu workers number.sync draining is currently triggered only from mem_cgroup_force_empty
which is triggered only by userspace (mem_cgroup_force_empty_write) or
when a cgroup is removed (mem_cgroup_pre_destroy). Although these are
not usually frequent operations it still makes some sense to do targeted
draining as well, especially if the box has many CPUs.This patch unifies both methods to use the single code (drain_all_stock)
which relies on the original async implementation and just adds
flush_work to wait on all caches that are still under work for the sync
mode. We are using FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE bit check to prevent from
waiting on a work that we haven't triggered. Please note that both sync
and async functions are currently protected by percpu_charge_mutex so we
cannot race with other drainers.Signed-off-by: Michal Hocko

drain_all_stock_async tries to optimize a work to be done on the work
queue by excluding any work for the current CPU because it assumes that
the context we are called from already tried to charge from that cache
and it's failed so it must be empty already.While the assumption is correct we can optimize it even more by checking
the current number of pages in the cache. This will also reduce a work
on other CPUs with an empty stock.For the current CPU we can simply call drain_local_stock rather than
deferring it to the work queue.[kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com: use drain_local_stock for current CPU optimization]

The commit log of 0ae5e89c60c9 ("memcg: count the soft_limit reclaim
in...") says it adds scanning stats to memory.stat file. But it doesn't
because we considered we needed to make a concensus for such new APIs.This patch is a trial to add memory.scan_stat. This shows
- the number of scanned pages(total, anon, file)
- the number of rotated pages(total, anon, file)
- the number of freed pages(total, anon, file)
- the number of elaplsed time (including sleep/pause time)for both of direct/soft reclaim.
The biggest difference with oringinal Ying's one is that this file
can be reset by some write, as# echo 0 ...../memory.scan_stat

sc->nr_scanned at el is not designed for exporting information. For
example, nr_scanned is reset frequentrly and incremented +2 at scanning
mapped pages.To avoid complexity, I added a new param in scan_control which is for

Commit 22a668d7c3ef ("memcg: fix behavior under memory.limit equals to
memsw.limit") introduced "memsw_is_minimum" flag, which becomes true
when mem_limit == memsw_limit. The flag is checked at the beginning of
reclaim, and "noswap" is set if the flag is true, because using swap is
meaningless in this case.This works well in most cases, but when we try to shrink mem_limit,
which is the same as memsw_limit now, we might fail to shrink mem_limit
because swap doesn't used.This patch fixes this behavior by:
- check MEM_CGROUP_RECLAIM_SHRINK at the begining of reclaim
- If it is set, don't set "noswap" flag even if memsw_is_minimum is true.Signed-off-by: Daisuke Nishimura

fixes the memcg/kswapd behavior against small targets and prevent vmscan

memcg. It always force scan to 32 pages of file/anon and doesn't handle
swappiness and other rotate_info. It makes vmscan to scan anon LRU

memcg_oom_mutex is used to protect memcg OOM path and eventfd interface
for oom_control. None of the critical sections which it protects sleep
(eventfd_signal works from atomic context and the rest are simple linked
list resp. oom_lock atomic operations).Mutex is also too heavyweight for those code paths because it triggers a
lot of scheduling. It also makes makes convoying effects more visible
when we have a big number of oom killing because we take the lock
mutliple times during mem_cgroup_handle_oom so we have multiple places
where many processes can sleep.Signed-off-by: Michal Hocko

Commit 867578cb ("memcg: fix oom kill behavior") introduced a oom_lock
counter which is incremented by mem_cgroup_oom_lock when we are about to
handle memcg OOM situation. mem_cgroup_handle_oom falls back to a sleep
if oom_lock > 1 to prevent from multiple oom kills at the same time.
The counter is then decremented by mem_cgroup_oom_unlock called from the
same function.This works correctly but it can lead to serious starvations when we have
many processes triggering OOM and many CPUs available for them (I have
tested with 16 CPUs).Consider a process (call it A) which gets the oom_lock (the first one
that got to mem_cgroup_handle_oom and grabbed memcg_oom_mutex) and other
processes that are blocked on the mutex. While A releases the mutex and
calls mem_cgroup_out_of_memory others will wake up (one after another)
and increase the counter and fall into sleep (memcg_oom_waitq).Once A finishes mem_cgroup_out_of_memory it takes the mutex again and
decreases oom_lock and wakes other tasks (if releasing memory by
somebody else - e.g. killed process - hasn't done it yet).A testcase would look like:
Assume malloc XXX is a program allocating XXX Megabytes of memory
which touches all allocated pages in a tight loop
# swapoff SWAP_DEVICE
# cgcreate -g memory:A
# cgset -r memory.oom_control=0 A
# cgset -r memory.limit_in_bytes= 200M
# for i in `seq 100`
# do
# cgexec -g memory:A malloc 10 &
# doneThe main problem here is that all processes still race for the mutex and
there is no guarantee that we will get counter back to 0 for those that
got back to mem_cgroup_handle_oom. In the end the whole convoy
in/decreases the counter but we do not get to 1 that would enable
killing so nothing useful can be done. The time is basically unbounded
because it highly depends on scheduling and ordering on mutex (I have
seen this taking hours...).This patch replaces the counter by a simple {un}lock semantic. As
mem_cgroup_oom_{un}lock works on the a subtree of a hierarchy we have to
make sure that nobody else races with us which is guaranteed by the
memcg_oom_mutex.We have to be careful while locking subtrees because we can encounter a
subtree which is already locked: hierarchy:A
/ \
B \
/\ \
C D EB - C - D tree might be already locked. While we want to enable locking
E subtree because OOM situations cannot influence each other we
definitely do not want to allow locking A.Therefore we have to refuse lock if any subtree is already locked and
clear up the lock for all nodes that have been set up to the failure
point.On the other hand we have to make sure that the rest of the world will
recognize that a group is under OOM even though it doesn't have a lock.
Therefore we have to introduce under_oom variable which is incremented
and decremented for the whole subtree when we enter resp. leave
mem_cgroup_handle_oom. under_oom, unlike oom_lock, doesn't need be
updated under memcg_oom_mutex because its users only check a single
group and they use atomic operations for that.This can be checked easily by the following test case:
# cgcreate -g memory:A
# cgset -r memory.use_hierarchy=1 A
# cgset -r memory.oom_control=1 A
# cgset -r memory.limit_in_bytes= 100M
# cgset -r memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes= 100M
# cgcreate -g memory:A/B
# cgset -r memory.oom_control=1 A/B
# cgset -r memory.limit_in_bytes=20M
# cgset -r memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes=20M
# cgexec -g memory:A/B malloc 30 & #->this will be blocked by OOM of group B
# cgexec -g memory:A malloc 80 & #->this will be blocked by OOM of group AWhile B gets oom_lock A will not get it. Both of them go into sleep and
wait for an external action. We can make the limit higher for A to
enforce waking it up# cgset -r memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes=300M A
# cgset -r memory.limit_in_bytes=300M Amalloc in A has to wake up even though it doesn't have oom_lock.
Finally, the unlock path is very easy because we always unlock only the
subtree we have locked previously while we always decrement under_oom.Signed-off-by: Michal Hocko

to be better.Now, when we gather all LRU information, we scan in following orer
for_each_lru -> for_each_node -> for_each_zone.This means we'll touch cache lines in different node in turn.
After patch, we'll scan

For the most part we don't care about racing with rename when directing
MDS requests; either the old or new parent is fine. Document that, and
do some minor cleanup.Reviewed-by: Yehuda Sadeh

We carry a pin on the parent directory for the rename source and dest
dentries. For the source it's r_locked_dir; we need to explicitly
reference the old_dentry parent as well, since the dentry's d_parent may
change between when the request was created and pinned and when it is
freed.Reviewed-by: Yehuda Sadeh
