From f9c645621a28e37813a1de96d9cbd89cde94a1e4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tetsuo Handa penguin-kernel@i-love.sakura.ne.jp Date: Mon, 23 Sep 2019 15:37:08 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] memcg, oom: don't require __GFP_FS when invoking memcg OOM killer
Masoud Sharbiani noticed that commit 29ef680ae7c21110 ("memcg, oom: move out_of_memory back to the charge path") broke memcg OOM called from __xfs_filemap_fault() path. It turned out that try_charge() is retrying forever without making forward progress because mem_cgroup_oom(GFP_NOFS) cannot invoke the OOM killer due to commit 3da88fb3bacfaa33 ("mm, oom: move GFP_NOFS check to out_of_memory").
Allowing forced charge due to being unable to invoke memcg OOM killer will lead to global OOM situation. Also, just returning -ENOMEM will be risky because OOM path is lost and some paths (e.g. get_user_pages()) will leak -ENOMEM. Therefore, invoking memcg OOM killer (despite GFP_NOFS) will be the only choice we can choose for now.
Until 29ef680ae7c21110, we were able to invoke memcg OOM killer when GFP_KERNEL reclaim failed [1]. But since 29ef680ae7c21110, we need to invoke memcg OOM killer when GFP_NOFS reclaim failed [2]. Although in the past we did invoke memcg OOM killer for GFP_NOFS [3], we might get pre-mature memcg OOM reports due to this patch.

This fixes tag is a bit confusing, but it looks to me like we don't need it on 4.9.
