Subject: [PATCH 3.2 47/67] mm, vmstat: fix wrong WQ sleep when memory reclaim doesn't make any progress
Date: Tue, 23 Feb 2016 21:42:03 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <lsq.1456263723.727239134@decadent.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <lsq.1456263722.390955919@decadent.org.uk>
3.2.78-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@i-love.sakura.ne.jp>
commit 564e81a57f9788b1475127012e0fd44e9049e342 upstream.
Jan Stancek has reported that system occasionally hanging after "oom01"
testcase from LTP triggers OOM. Guessing from a result that there is a
kworker thread doing memory allocation and the values between "Node 0
Normal free:" and "Node 0 Normal:" differs when hanging, vmstat is not
up-to-date for some reason.
According to commit 373ccbe59270 ("mm, vmstat: allow WQ concurrency to
discover memory reclaim doesn't make any progress"), it meant to force
the kworker thread to take a short sleep, but it by error used
schedule_timeout(1). We missed that schedule_timeout() in state
TASK_RUNNING doesn't do anything.
Fix it by using schedule_timeout_uninterruptible(1) which forces the
kworker thread to take a short sleep in order to make sure that vmstat
is up-to-date.
Fixes: 373ccbe59270 ("mm, vmstat: allow WQ concurrency to discover memory reclaim doesn't make any progress")
