Subject: RE: rcu_preempt caused oom

Hi, 
   We have start the test with the CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y, and also add one 2s to detect the preempt rcu hang, hope we can get more useful logs tomorrow.
   I also enclosed the config and the debug patches for you review.

Hmmm...  Could you please build with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y and run the original (for example, CONFIG_RCU_BOOST=n)?  I would expect this to trigger the warning in rcu_check_gp_start_stall().  Of course, if it does not trigger, that would be valuable information as well.

The panic log was triggered with the enclosed debug patch, replaced the wait_for_completion(&rs_array[i].completion) with wait_for_completion_timeout(&rs_array[i].completion, 3*HZ) in __wait_rcu_gp(). The logs enabled the lockdep to dump the locks, and dump all tasks backtrace.

There are quite a few preemptions ("72738.702815: rcu_preempt_task: rcu_preempt"), but they are all blocking the next grace period (29041008), not the current one (29041004).  And the "rcu_unlock_preempted_task" trace records flag the current grace-period sequence number as 29041004, which means that there is no grace period in progress, that is, RCU is idle.

In the past, there was a scheduler bug that could cause that, but that was -way- before the v4.19 that you are running.  More recently, there have been timer-related problems, but those only happened while a grace period was active, and where also long before v4.19.

But that cannot be the case here, because new callbacks are being enqueued throughout, and these would then trigger RCU's start-a-new-grace-period checks.

And that could happen if you had CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL and a bunch of nohz_full CPUs, or, alternatively, callback offloading enabled.  But I don't see these in your previous emails.  Another possible cause is that the grace-period kthread is being delayed, so that the grace period never starts.  This seems unlikely, but it is the only thing thus far that matches the symptoms.
