  • 7bf02ea22   arch, mm: filter disallowed nodes from arch specific show_mem functions ... Browse Code »

    Architectures that implement their own show_mem() function did not pass
    the filter argument to show_free_areas() to appropriately avoid emitting
    the state of nodes that are disallowed in the current context. This patch
    now passes the filter argument to show_free_areas() so those nodes are now
    avoided.

    This patch also removes the show_free_areas() wrapper around
    __show_free_areas() and converts existing callers to pass an empty filter.

    ia64 emits additional information for each node, so skip_free_areas_zone()
    must be made global to filter disallowed nodes and it is converted to use
    a nid argument rather than a zone for this use case.

  • b2b755b5f   lib, arch: add filter argument to show_mem and fix private implementations ... Browse Code »

    Commit ddd588b5dd55 ("oom: suppress nodes that are not allowed from
    meminfo on oom kill") moved lib/show_mem.o out of lib/lib.a, which
    resulted in build warnings on all architectures that implement their own
    versions of show_mem():

    lib/lib.a(show_mem.o): In function `show_mem':
    show_mem.c:(.text+0x1f4): multiple definition of `show_mem'
    arch/sparc/mm/built-in.o:(.text+0xd70): first defined here

    The fix is to remove __show_mem() and add its argument to show_mem() in
    all implementations to prevent this breakage.

    Architectures that implement their own show_mem() actually don't do
    anything with the argument yet, but they could be made to filter nodes
    that aren't allowed in the current context in the future just like the
    generic implementation.

  • ddd588b5d   oom: suppress nodes that are not allowed from meminfo on oom kill ... Browse Code »

    The oom killer is extremely verbose for machines with a large number of
    cpus and/or nodes. This verbosity can often be harmful if it causes other
    important messages to be scrolled from the kernel log and incurs a
    signicant time delay, specifically for kernels with CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT >
    8.

    This patch causes only memory information to be displayed for nodes that
    are allowed by current's cpuset when dumping the VM state. Information
    for all other nodes is irrelevant to the oom condition; we don't care if
    there's an abundance of memory elsewhere if we can't access it.

    This only affects the behavior of dumping memory information when an oom
    is triggered. Other dumps, such as for sysrq+m, still display the
    unfiltered form when using the existing show_mem() interface.

    Additionally, the per-cpu pageset statistics are extremely verbose in oom
    killer output, so it is now suppressed. This removes

    nodes_weight(current->mems_allowed) * (1 + nr_cpus)

    lines from the oom killer output.

    Callers may use __show_mem(SHOW_MEM_FILTER_NODES) to filter disallowed
    nodes.
