2017-02-03	fs: break out of iomap_file_buffered_write on fatal signals	Michal Hocko	2	-0/+8
	Tetsuo has noticed that an OOM stress test which performs large write requests can cause the full memory reserves depletion. He has tracked this down to the following path __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x436/0x4d0 alloc_pages_current+0x97/0x1b0 __page_cache_alloc+0x15d/0x1a0 mm/filemap.c:728 pagecache_get_page+0x5a/0x2b0 mm/filemap.c:1331 grab_cache_page_write_begin+0x23/0x40 mm/filemap.c:2773 iomap_write_begin+0x50/0xd0 fs/iomap.c:118 iomap_write_actor+0xb5/0x1a0 fs/iomap.c:190 ? iomap_write_end+0x80/0x80 fs/iomap.c:150 iomap_apply+0xb3/0x130 fs/iomap.c:79 iomap_file_buffered_write+0x68/0xa0 fs/iomap.c:243 ? iomap_write_end+0x80/0x80 xfs_file_buffered_aio_write+0x132/0x390 [xfs] ? remove_wait_queue+0x59/0x60 xfs_file_write_iter+0x90/0x130 [xfs] __vfs_write+0xe5/0x140 vfs_write+0xc7/0x1f0 ? syscall_trace_enter+0x1d0/0x380 SyS_write+0x58/0xc0 do_syscall_64+0x6c/0x200 entry_SYSCALL64_slow_path+0x25/0x25 the oom victim has access to all memory reserves to make a forward progress to exit easier. But iomap_file_buffered_write and other callers of iomap_apply loop to complete the full request. We need to check for fatal signals and back off with a short write instead. As the iomap_apply delegates all the work down to the actor we have to hook into those. All callers that work with the page cache are calling iomap_write_begin so we will check for signals there. dax_iomap_actor has to handle the situation explicitly because it copies data to the userspace directly. Other callers like iomap_page_mkwrite work on a single page or iomap_fiemap_actor do not allocate memory based on the given len.
