Here is another reason why this wasn't caught -- division usually renders the overage 0 anyway with such a large input. With the attached patch applied before this fix, you can see that usually division results in an overage of 0, so the result is the same. Here's an example where pid 213 is a cgroup in system.slice/foo.service hitting its own memory.high, and system.slice has no memory.high configuresd: [root@ktst ~]# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace # tracer: nop # # entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 33/33 #P:4 # # _-----=> irqs-off # / _----=> need-resched # | / _---=> hardirq/softirq # || / _--=> preempt-depth # ||| / delay # TASK-PID CPU# |||| TIMESTAMP FUNCTION # | | | |||| | | (bash)-213 [002] .N.. 58.873988: mem_cgroup_handle_over_high: usage: 32, high: 1 (bash)-213 [002] .N.. 58.873993: mem_cgroup_handle_over_high: 1 overage before shifting (31) (bash)-213 [002] .N.. 58.873994: mem_cgroup_handle_over_high: 1 overage after shifting (32505856) (bash)-213 [002] .N.. 58.873995: mem_cgroup_handle_over_high: 1 overage after div (32505856) (bash)-213 [002] .N.. 58.873996: mem_cgroup_handle_over_high: 1 cgroup new overage (32505856) (bash)-213 [002] .N.. 58.873998: mem_cgroup_handle_over_high: usage: 18641, high: 2251799813685247 (bash)-213 [002] .N.. 58.873998: mem_cgroup_handle_over_high: 2 overage before shifting (18444492273895885010) (bash)-213 [002] .N.. 58.873999: mem_cgroup_handle_over_high: 2 overage after shifting (19547553792) (bash)-213 [002] .N.. 58.874000: mem_cgroup_handle_over_high: 2 overage after div (0) (bash)-213 [002] .N.. 58.874001: mem_cgroup_handle_over_high: 2 cgroup too low (0) (bash)-213 [002] .N.. 58.874002: mem_cgroup_handle_over_high: Used 1 from leaf to get result --T4sUOijqQbZv57TR Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="0001-temp.patch" >From df96928bc8d482d8b26c277c4ca0b075783c7aed Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Down Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2020 19:16:23 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] temp --- mm/memcontrol.c | 16 +++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 15 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/mm/memcontrol.c b/mm/memcontrol.c index eecf003b0c56..c33e317c3667 100644 --- a/mm/memcontrol.c +++ b/mm/memcontrol.c @@ -2328,11 +2328,14 @@ static unsigned long calculate_high_delay(struct mem_cgroup *memcg, { unsigned long penalty_jiffies; u64 max_overage = 0; + int i = 0, i_overage = 0; do { unsigned long usage, high; u64 overage; + i++; + usage = page_counter_read(&memcg->memory); high = READ_ONCE(memcg->high); @@ -2342,18 +2345,29 @@ static unsigned long calculate_high_delay(struct mem_cgroup *memcg, */ high = max(high, 1UL); + trace_printk("usage: %lu, high: %lu\n", usage, high); overage = usage - high; + trace_printk("%d overage before shifting (%llu)\n", i, overage); overage <<= MEMCG_DELAY_PRECISION_SHIFT; + trace_printk("%d overage after shifting (%llu)\n", i, overage); overage = div64_u64(overage, high); + trace_printk("%d overage after div (%llu)\n", i, overage); - if (overage > max_overage) + if (overage > max_overage) { + trace_printk("%d cgroup new overage (%llu)\n", i, overage); + i_overage = i; max_overage = overage; + } else { + trace_printk("%d cgroup too low (%llu)\n", i, overage); + } } while ((memcg = parent_mem_cgroup(memcg)) && !mem_cgroup_is_root(memcg)); if (!max_overage) return 0; + trace_printk("Used %d from leaf to get result\n", i_overage); + /* * We use overage compared to memory.high to calculate the number of * jiffies to sleep (penalty_jiffies).
