From 852d8be0ad8511611eff18f28dce11d25195b654 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yang Shi Date: Wed, 15 Nov 2017 17:32:07 -0800 Subject: mm: oom: show unreclaimable slab info when unreclaimable slabs > user memory The kernel may panic when an oom happens without killable process sometimes it is caused by huge unreclaimable slabs used by kernel. Although kdump could help debug such problem, however, kdump is not available on all architectures and it might be malfunction sometime. And, since kernel already panic it is worthy capturing such information in dmesg to aid touble shooting. Print out unreclaimable slab info (used size and total size) which actual memory usage is not zero (num_objs * size != 0) when unreclaimable slabs amount is greater than total user memory (LRU pages). The output looks like: Unreclaimable slab info: Name Used Total rpc_buffers 31KB 31KB rpc_tasks 7KB 7KB ebitmap_node 1964KB 1964KB avtab_node 5024KB 5024KB xfs_buf 1402KB 1402KB xfs_ili 134KB 134KB xfs_efi_item 115KB 115KB xfs_efd_item 115KB 115KB xfs_buf_item 134KB 134KB xfs_log_item_desc 342KB 342KB xfs_trans 1412KB 1412KB xfs_ifork 212KB 212KB [yang.s@alibaba-inc.com: v11] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1507656303-103845-4-git-send-email-yang.s@alibaba-inc.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1507152550-46205-4-git-send-email-yang.s@alibaba-inc.com Signed-off-by: Yang Shi Acked-by: Michal Hocko Cc: Christoph Lameter Cc: David Rientjes Cc: Joonsoo Kim Cc: Pekka Enberg Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- mm/slab.h | 8 ++++++++ 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+) (limited to 'mm/slab.h') diff --git a/mm/slab.h b/mm/slab.h index 86d7c7d860f9..45c586cefc11 100644 --- a/mm/slab.h +++ b/mm/slab.h @@ -506,6 +506,14 @@ void *memcg_slab_next(struct seq_file *m, void *p, loff_t *pos); void memcg_slab_stop(struct seq_file *m, void *p); int memcg_slab_show(struct seq_file *m, void *p); +#if defined(CONFIG_SLAB) || defined(CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG) +void dump_unreclaimable_slab(void); +#else +static inline void dump_unreclaimable_slab(void) +{ +} +#endif + void ___cache_free(struct kmem_cache *cache, void *x, unsigned long addr); #ifdef CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM -- cgit v1.2.3-55-g7522
