mainline inclusion from mainline-v5.17-rc1 commit cb0e52b7748737b2cf6481fdd9b920ce7e1ebbdf category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I562O9 CVE: NA backport: openEuler-22.03-LTS
Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?i...
--------------------------------
We've noticed cases where tasks in a cgroup are stalled on memory but there is little memory FULL pressure since tasks stay on the runqueue in reclaim.
A simple example involves a single threaded program that keeps leaking and touching large amounts of memory. It runs in a cgroup with swap enabled, memory.high set at 10M and cpu.max ratio set at 5%. Though there is significant CPU pressure and memory SOME, there is barely any memory FULL since the task enters reclaim and stays on the runqueue. However, this memory-bound task is effectively stalled on memory and we expect memory FULL to match memory SOME in this scenario.
The code is confused about memstall && running, thinking there is a stalled task and a productive task when there's only one task: a reclaimer that's counted as both. To fix this, we redefine the condition for PSI_MEM_FULL to check that all running tasks are in an active memstall instead of checking that there are no running tasks.
case PSI_MEM_FULL: - return unlikely(tasks[NR_MEMSTALL] && !tasks[NR_RUNNING]); + return unlikely(tasks[NR_MEMSTALL] && + tasks[NR_RUNNING] == tasks[NR_MEMSTALL_RUNNING]);
This will capture reclaimers. It will also capture tasks that called psi_memstall_enter() and are about to sleep, but this should be negligible noise.
