From: Michal Hocko Date: Thu, 28 Jul 2016 22:44:58 +0000 (-0700) Subject: mm, oom_reaper: do not attempt to reap a task more than twice X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=11a410d516e89320fe0817606eeab58f36c22968;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git mm, oom_reaper: do not attempt to reap a task more than twice oom_reaper relies on the mmap_sem for read to do its job. Many places which might block readers have been converted to use down_write_killable and that has reduced chances of the contention a lot. Some paths where the mmap_sem is held for write can take other locks and they might either be not prepared to fail due to fatal signal pending or too impractical to be changed. This patch introduces MMF_OOM_NOT_REAPABLE flag which gets set after the first attempt to reap a task's mm fails. If the flag is present after the failure then we set MMF_OOM_REAPED to hide this mm from the oom killer completely so it can go and chose another victim. As a result a risk of OOM deadlock when the oom victim would be blocked indefinetly and so the oom killer cannot make any progress should be mitigated considerably while we still try really hard to perform all reclaim attempts and stay predictable in the behavior.
