mm: page_alloc: unreserve highatomic page blocks before oom
__alloc_pages_direct_reclaim() is called from slowpath allocation where
high atomic reserves can be unreserved after there is a progress in
reclaim and yet no suitable page is found. Later should_reclaim_retry()
gets called from slow path allocation to decide if the reclaim needs to be
retried before OOM kill path is taken.
should_reclaim_retry() checks the available(reclaimable + free pages)
memory against the min wmark levels of a zone and returns:
a) true, if it is above the min wmark so that slow path allocation will
do the reclaim retries.
b) false, thus slowpath allocation takes oom kill path.
should_reclaim_retry() can also unreserves the high atomic reserves **but
only after all the reclaim retries are exhausted.**
In a case where there are almost none reclaimable memory and free pages
contains mostly the high atomic reserves but allocation context can't use
these high atomic reserves, makes the available memory below min wmark
levels hence false is returned from should_reclaim_retry() leading the
allocation request to take OOM kill path. This can turn into a early oom
kill if high atomic reserves are holding lot of free memory and
unreserving of them is not attempted.
(early)OOM is encountered on a VM with the below state:
[ 295.998653] Normal free:7728kB boost:0kB min:804kB low:1004kB
high:1204kB reserved_highatomic:8192KB active_anon:4kB inactive_anon:0kB
active_file:24kB inactive_file:24kB unevictable:1220kB writepending:0kB
present:70732kB managed:49224kB mlocked:0kB bounce:0kB free_pcp:688kB
local_pcp:492kB free_cma:0kB
[ 295.998656] lowmem_reserve[]: 0 32
[ 295.998659] Normal: 508*4kB (UMEH) 241*8kB (UMEH) 143*16kB (UMEH)
33*32kB (UH) 7*64kB (UH) 0*128kB 0*256kB 0*512kB 0*1024kB 0*2048kB
0*4096kB = 7752kB
Per above log, the free memory of ~7MB exist in the high atomic reserves
is not freed up before falling back to oom kill path.
Fix it by trying to unreserve the high atomic reserves in
should_reclaim_retry() before __alloc_pages_direct_reclaim() can fallback
to oom kill path.
