Arkadiusz reported that enabling memcg's group oom killing causes strange memcg statistics where there is no task in a memcg despite the number of tasks in that memcg is not 0. It turned out that there is a bug in wake_oom_reaper() which allows enqueuing same task twice which makes impossible to decrease the number of tasks in that memcg due to a refcount leak. This bug existed since the OOM reaper became invokable from task_will_free_mem(current) path in out_of_memory() in Linux 4.7, T1@P1 |T2@P1 |T3@P1 |OOM reaper ----------+----------+----------+------------ # Processing an OOM victim in a different memcg domain. try_charge() mem_cgroup_out_of_memory() mutex_lock(&oom_lock) try_charge() mem_cgroup_out_of_memory() mutex_lock(&oom_lock) try_charge() mem_cgroup_out_of_memory() mutex_lock(&oom_lock) out_of_memory() oom_kill_process(P1) do_send_sig_info(SIGKILL, @P1) mark_oom_victim(T1@P1) wake_oom_reaper(T1@P1) # T1@P1 is enqueued. mutex_unlock(&oom_lock) out_of_memory() mark_oom_victim(T2@P1) wake_oom_reaper(T2@P1) # T2@P1 is enqueued. mutex_unlock(&oom_lock) out_of_memory() mark_oom_victim(T1@P1) wake_oom_reaper(T1@P1) # T1@P1 is enqueued again due to oom_reaper_list == T2@P1 && T1@P1->oom_reaper_list == NULL. mutex_unlock(&oom_lock) # Completed processing an OOM victim in a different memcg domain. spin_lock(&oom_reaper_lock) # T1P1 is dequeued. spin_unlock(&oom_reaper_lock) but memcg's group oom killing made it easier to trigger this bug by calling wake_oom_reaper() on the same task from one out_of_memory() request.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
