Excuse me for a noise, but do we really need to do "cat /sys/kernel/debug/page_owner > file" after the first OOM killer invocation? I worry that it might be too difficult to do. Shouldn't we rather do "cat /sys/kernel/debug/page_owner > file" hourly and compare tendency between the latest one and previous one? This system has swap, and /var/log/messages before panic reports that swapin was stalling at memory allocation. ---------------------------------------- [130346.262510] dsm_sa_datamgrd: page allocation stalls for 52400ms, order:0, mode:0x24200ca(GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE) [130346.262572] CPU: 1 PID: 3622 Comm: dsm_sa_datamgrd Tainted: G W I 4.9.0-rc5 #2 [130346.262662] 0000000000000000 ffffffff8129ba69 ffffffff8170e4c8 ffffc90003ccb8d8 [130346.262714] ffffffff8113449f 024200ca1ca11b40 ffffffff8170e4c8 ffffc90003ccb880 [130346.262765] ffffffff00000010 ffffc90003ccb8e8 ffffc90003ccb898 ffff88041f226e80 [130346.262817] Call Trace: [130346.262843] [<ffffffff8129ba69>] ? dump_stack+0x46/0x5d [130346.262872] [<ffffffff8113449f>] ? warn_alloc+0x11f/0x140 [130346.262899] [<ffffffff81134d7b>] ? __alloc_pages_slowpath+0x84b/0xa80 [130346.262929] [<ffffffff81135260>] ? __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x2b0/0x2f0 [130346.262960] [<ffffffff8117f1be>] ? alloc_pages_vma+0xbe/0x260 [130346.262989] [<ffffffff8112af02>] ? pagecache_get_page+0x22/0x280 [130346.263019] [<ffffffff81171b68>] ? __read_swap_cache_async+0x118/0x1a0 [130346.263048] [<ffffffff81171bff>] ? read_swap_cache_async+0xf/0x30 [130346.263077] [<ffffffff81171d8e>] ? swapin_readahead+0x16e/0x1c0 [130346.263106] [<ffffffff812a0f6e>] ? radix_tree_lookup_slot+0xe/0x20 [130346.263135] [<ffffffff8112ac84>] ? find_get_entry+0x14/0x130 [130346.263162] [<ffffffff8112af02>] ? pagecache_get_page+0x22/0x280 [130346.263193] [<ffffffff8115cb1f>] ? do_swap_page+0x44f/0x5f0 [130346.263220] [<ffffffff812a0f02>] ? __radix_tree_lookup+0x62/0xc0 [130346.263249] [<ffffffff8115e91a>] ? handle_mm_fault+0x66a/0xf00 [130346.263277] [<ffffffff8112ac84>] ? find_get_entry+0x14/0x130 [130346.263305] [<ffffffff8104a245>] ? __do_page_fault+0x1c5/0x490 [130346.263336] [<ffffffff8150e322>] ? page_fault+0x22/0x30 [130346.263364] [<ffffffff812a7cac>] ? copy_user_generic_string+0x2c/0x40 [130346.263395] [<ffffffff811adc1d>] ? set_fd_set+0x1d/0x30 [130346.263422] [<ffffffff811ae905>] ? core_sys_select+0x1a5/0x260 [130346.263450] [<ffffffff811a913a>] ? getname_flags+0x6a/0x1e0 [130346.263479] [<ffffffff8119ef25>] ? cp_new_stat+0x115/0x130 [130346.263509] [<ffffffff810bf01f>] ? ktime_get_ts64+0x3f/0xf0 [130346.263537] [<ffffffff811aea65>] ?

And, once the stalling started, it took less than 5 minutes before the kernel panics due to "Out of memory and no killable process". This could happen when E V is offline. Since rsyslogd is likely be killed by the OOM killer for situations like this, E V might want to try serial console or netconsole for saving kernel messages reliably. I don't know what we will find by analyzing /sys/kernel/debug/page_owner , but if something is wrong, can't we try whether "echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches" before the stalling starts helps. I guess that this problem became visible by OOM detection rework which went to Linux 4.7. I don't know what "free_pcp:0kB local_pcp:0kB" means (get_page_from_freelist() for any order is failng?), but in general I think this /var/log/messages showed that free_pcp: and local_pcp: remains small. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
