The OOM notifier is getting deprecated to use for the reasons:
- As a callout from the oom context, it is too subtle and easy to
generate bugs and corner cases which are hard to track;
- It is called too late (after the reclaiming has been performed).
Drivers with large amuont of reclaimable memory is expected to
release them at an early stage of memory pressure;
- The notifier callback isn't aware of oom contrains;
Link: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/7/12/314
This patch replaces the virtio-balloon oom notifier with a shrinker
to release balloon pages on memory pressure. The balloon pages are
given back to mm adaptively by returning the number of pages that the
reclaimer is asking for (i.e. sc->nr_to_scan).
Currently the max possible value of sc->nr_to_scan passed to the balloon
shrinker is SHRINK_BATCH, which is 128. This is smaller than the
limitation that only VIRTIO_BALLOON_ARRAY_PFNS_MAX (256) pages can be
returned via one invocation of leak_balloon. But this patch still
considers the case that SHRINK_BATCH or shrinker->batch could be changed
to a value larger than VIRTIO_BALLOON_ARRAY_PFNS_MAX, which will need to
do multiple invocations of leak_balloon.
Historically, the feature VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_DEFLATE_ON_OOM has been used
to release balloon pages on OOM. We continue to use this feature bit for
the shrinker, so the shrinker is only registered when this feature bit
has been negotiated with host.

Some versions of GCC for the MIPS architecture suffer from a bug which
can lead to instructions from beyond an unreachable statement being
incorrectly reordered into earlier branch delay slots if the unreachable
statement is the only content of a case in a switch statement. This can
lead to seemingly random behaviour, such as invalid memory accesses from
incorrectly reordered loads or stores, and link failures on microMIPS
builds.
See this potential GCC fix for details:
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2015-09/msg00360.html
Runtime problems resulting from this bug were initially observed using a
maltasmvp_defconfig v4.4 kernel built using GCC 4.9.2 (from a Codescape
SDK 2015.06-05 toolchain), with the result being an address exception
taken after log messages about the L1 caches (during probe of the L2
cache):
Initmem setup node 0 [mem 0x0000000080000000-0x000000009fffffff]
VPE topology {2,2} total 4
Primary instruction cache 64kB, VIPT, 4-way, linesize 32 bytes.
Primary data cache 64kB, 4-way, PIPT, no aliases, linesize 32 bytes
<AdEL exception here>
This is early enough that the kernel exception vectors are not in use,
so any further output depends upon the bootloader. This is reproducible
in QEMU where no further output occurs - ie. the system hangs here.
Given the nature of the bug it may potentially be hit with differing
symptoms. The bug is known to affect GCC versions as recent as 7.3, and
it is unclear whether GCC 8 fixed it or just happens not to encounter
the bug in the testcase found at the link above due to differing
optimizations.
This bug can be worked around by placing a volatile asm statement, which
GCC is prevented from reordering past, prior to the
__builtin_unreachable call.
That was actually done already for other reasons by commit 173a3efd3e
("bug.h: work around GCC PR82365 in BUG()"), but creates problems for
microMIPS builds due to the lack of a .insn directive. The microMIPS ISA
allows for interlinking with regular MIPS32 code by repurposing bit 0 of
the program counter as an ISA mode bit. To switch modes one changes the
value of this bit in the PC. However typical branch instructions encode
their offsets as multiples of 2-byte instruction halfwords, which means
they cannot change ISA mode - this must be done using either an indirect
branch (a jump-register in MIPS terminology) or a dedicated jalx
instruction. In order to ensure that regular branches don't attempt to
target code in a different ISA which they can't actually switch to, the
linker will check that branch targets are code in the same ISA as the
branch.
Unfortunately our empty asm volatile statements don't qualify as code,
and the link for microMIPS builds fails with errors such as:
arch/mips/mm/dma-default.s:3265: Error: branch to a symbol in another ISA mode
arch/mips/mm/dma-default.s:5027: Error: branch to a symbol in another ISA mode
Resolve this by adding a .insn directive within the asm statement which
declares that what comes next is code. This may or may not be true,
since we don't really know what comes next, but as this code is in an
unreachable path anyway that doesn't matter since we won't execute it.
We do this in asm/compiler.h & select CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_COMPILER_H in
order to have this included by linux/compiler_types.h after
linux/compiler-gcc.h. This will result in asm/compiler.h being included
in all C compilations via the -include linux/compiler_types.h argument
in c_flags, which should be harmless.

We have a need to override the definition of
barrier_before_unreachable() for MIPS, which means we either need to add
architecture-specific code into linux/compiler-gcc.h or we need to allow
the architecture to provide a header that can define the macro before
the generic definition. The latter seems like the better approach.
A straightforward approach to the per-arch header is to make use of
asm-generic to provide a default empty header & adjust architectures
which don't need anything specific to make use of that by adding the
header to generic-y. Unfortunately this doesn't work so well due to
commit 28128c61e0 ("kconfig.h: Include compiler types to avoid missed
struct attributes") which caused linux/compiler_types.h to be included
in the compilation of every C file via the -include linux/kconfig.h flag
in c_flags.
Because the -include flag is present for all C files we compile, we need
the architecture-provided header to be present before any C files are
compiled. If any C files can be compiled prior to the asm-generic header
wrappers being generated then we hit a build failure due to missing
header. Such cases do exist - one pointed out by the kbuild test robot
is the compilation of arch/ia64/kernel/nr-irqs.c, which occurs as part
of the archprepare target [1].
This leaves us with a few options:
1) Use generic-y & fix any build failures we find by enforcing
ordering such that the asm-generic target occurs before any C
compilation, such that linux/compiler_types.h can always include
the generated asm-generic wrapper which in turn includes the empty
asm-generic header. This would rely on us finding all the
problematic cases - I don't know for sure that the ia64 issue is
the only one.
2) Add an actual empty header to each architecture, so that we don't
need the generated asm-generic wrapper. This seems messy.
3) Give up & add #ifdef CONFIG_MIPS or similar to
linux/compiler_types.h. This seems messy too.
4) Include the arch header only when it's actually needed, removing
the need for the asm-generic wrapper for all other architectures.
This patch allows us to use approach 4, by including an asm/compiler.h
header from linux/compiler_types.h after the inclusion of the
compiler-specific linux/compiler-*.h header(s). We do this
conditionally, only when CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_COMPILER_H is selected, in
order to avoid the need for asm-generic wrappers & the associated build
ordering issue described above. The asm/compiler.h header is included
after the generic linux/compiler-*.h header(s) for consistency with the
way linux/compiler-intel.h & linux/compiler-clang.h are included after
the linux/compiler-gcc.h header that they override.
