From c1af2c13a4ac1dd29937bb54e9d8410f11e8465a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yafang Shao Date: Thu, 7 May 2020 18:35:43 -0700 Subject: mm, memcg: fix error return value of mem_cgroup_css_alloc() commit 11d6761218d19ca06ae5387f4e3692c4fa9e7493 upstream. When I run my memcg testcase which creates lots of memcgs, I found there're unexpected out of memory logs while there're still enough available free memory. The error log is mkdir: cannot create directory 'foo.65533': Cannot allocate memory The reason is when we try to create more than MEM_CGROUP_ID_MAX memcgs, an -ENOMEM errno will be set by mem_cgroup_css_alloc(), but the right errno should be -ENOSPC "No space left on device", which is an appropriate errno for userspace's failed mkdir. As the errno really misled me, we should make it right. After this patch, the error log will be mkdir: cannot create directory 'foo.65533': No space left on device [akpm@linux-foundation.org: s/EBUSY/ENOSPC/, per Michal] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: s/EBUSY/ENOSPC/, per Michal] Fixes: 73f576c04b94 ("mm: memcontrol: fix cgroup creation failure after many small jobs") Suggested-by: Matthew Wilcox Signed-off-by: Yafang Shao Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Acked-by: Michal Hocko Acked-by: Johannes Weiner Cc: Vladimir Davydov Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200407063621.GA18914@dhcp22.suse.cz Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1586192163-20099-1-git-send-email-laoar.shao@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- mm/memcontrol.c | 15 +++++++++------ 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) (limited to 'mm/memcontrol.c') diff --git a/mm/memcontrol.c b/mm/memcontrol.c index 8159000781be..0d6f3ea86738 100644 --- a/mm/memcontrol.c +++ b/mm/memcontrol.c @@ -5101,19 +5101,22 @@ static struct mem_cgroup *mem_cgroup_alloc(void) unsigned int size; int node; int __maybe_unused i; + long error = -ENOMEM; size = sizeof(struct mem_cgroup); size += nr_node_ids * sizeof(struct mem_cgroup_per_node *); memcg = kzalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL); if (!memcg) - return NULL; + return ERR_PTR(error); memcg->id.id = idr_alloc(&mem_cgroup_idr, NULL, 1, MEM_CGROUP_ID_MAX, GFP_KERNEL); - if (memcg->id.id < 0) + if (memcg->id.id < 0) { + error = memcg->id.id; goto fail; + } memcg->vmstats_local = alloc_percpu(struct memcg_vmstats_percpu); if (!memcg->vmstats_local) @@ -5158,7 +5161,7 @@ static struct mem_cgroup *mem_cgroup_alloc(void) fail: mem_cgroup_id_remove(memcg); __mem_cgroup_free(memcg); - return NULL; + return ERR_PTR(error); } static struct cgroup_subsys_state * __ref @@ -5169,8 +5172,8 @@ mem_cgroup_css_alloc(struct cgroup_subsys_state *parent_css) long error = -ENOMEM; memcg = mem_cgroup_alloc(); - if (!memcg) - return ERR_PTR(error); + if (IS_ERR(memcg)) + return ERR_CAST(memcg); memcg->high = PAGE_COUNTER_MAX; memcg->soft_limit = PAGE_COUNTER_MAX; @@ -5220,7 +5223,7 @@ mem_cgroup_css_alloc(struct cgroup_subsys_state *parent_css) fail: mem_cgroup_id_remove(memcg); mem_cgroup_free(memcg); - return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM); + return ERR_PTR(error); } static int mem_cgroup_css_online(struct cgroup_subsys_state *css) -- cgit v1.2.3
