memcg, oom: don't require __GFP_FS when invoking memcg OOM killer
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
Masoud Sharbiani noticed that commit 29ef680 ("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 3da88fb ("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 29ef680, we were able to invoke memcg OOM killer when
GFP_KERNEL reclaim failed [1].  But since 29ef680, 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.
