[PATCH openEuler-1.0-LTS 1/2] mm/vmscan: fix infinite loop in drop_slab_node
From: Chunxin Zang <zangchunxin@bytedance.com> mainline inclusion from mainline-v5.10-rc1 commit 069c411de40a621c82efd2618663fee51d8c59b8 category: bugfix bugzilla: 175105 CVE: NA ------------------------------------------------- We have observed that drop_caches can take a considerable amount of time (<put data here>). Especially when there are many memcgs involved because they are adding an additional overhead. It is quite unfortunate that the operation cannot be interrupted by a signal currently. Add a check for fatal signals into the main loop so that userspace can control early bailout. There are two reasons: 1. We have too many memcgs, even though one object freed in one memcg, the sum of object is bigger than 10. 2. We spend a lot of time in traverse memcg once. So, the memcg who traversed at the first have been freed many objects. Traverse memcg next time, the freed count bigger than 10 again. We can get the following info through 'ps': root:~# ps -aux | grep drop root 357956 ... R Aug25 21119854:55 echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches root 1771385 ...
