Fixes: 058504edd026 ("fs/seq_file: fallback to vmalloc allocation") Suggested-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Reported-by: Qualys Security Advisory <qsa@qualys.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> diff 5cec38ac Fri Dec 12 17:56:16 MST 2014 David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> fs, seq_file: fallback to vmalloc instead of oom kill processes Since commit 058504edd026 ("fs/seq_file: fallback to vmalloc allocation"), seq_buf_alloc() falls back to vmalloc() when the kmalloc() for contiguous memory fails. This was done to address order-4 slab allocations for reading /proc/stat on large machines and noticed because PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER < 4, so there is no infinite loop in the page allocator when allocating new slab for such high-order allocations. Contiguous memory isn't necessary for caller of seq_buf_alloc(), however. Other GFP_KERNEL high-order allocations that are <= PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER will simply loop forever in the page allocator and oom kill processes as a result. We don't want to kill processes so that we can allocate contiguous memory in situations when contiguous memory isn't necessary. This patch does the kmalloc() allocation with __GFP_NORETRY for high-order allocations. This still utilizes memory compaction and direct reclaim in the allocation path, the only difference is that it will fail immediately instead of oom kill processes when out of memory.

This interface requires that the whole output must fit into a single buffer. E.g. for /proc/stat allocation failures have been observed because an order-4 memory allocation failed due to memory fragmentation. In such situations reading /proc/stat is not possible anymore. Therefore change the seq_file code to fallback to vmalloc allocations which will usually result in a couple of order-0 allocations and hence also work if memory is fragmented.
