Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 3/3] mm, oom: hand over MMF_OOM_SKIP to exit path if it is guranteed to finish
From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@...e.com>
David Rientjes has noted that certain user space memory allocators leave
a lot of page tables behind and the current implementation of oom_reaper
doesn't deal with those workloads very well. In order to improve these
workloads define a point when exit_mmap is guaranteed to finish the tear
down without any further blocking etc. This is right after we unlink
vmas (those still depend on locks which are held while performing memory
allocations from other contexts) and before we start releasing page
tables.
Opencode free_pgtables and explicitly unlink all vmas first. Then set
mm->mmap to NULL (there shouldn't be anybody looking at it at this
stage) and check for mm->mmap in the oom_reaper path. If the mm->mmap
is NULL we rely on the exit path and won't set MMF_OOM_SKIP from the
reaper.
Changes since RFC
- the task is still visible to the OOM killer after exit_mmap terminates
so we should set MMF_OOM_SKIP from that path to be sure the oom killer
doesn't get stuck on this task (see d7a94e7e11badf84 for more context)
- per Tetsuo
- split free_pgtables into unlinking and actual freeing part. We cannot
rely on free_pgd_range because of hugetlb pages on ppc resp. sparc
which do their own tear down
