Re: BUG in 3.19.0-rc3+

[Chris Clayton]

Hi,

I've done the bisect and the outcome is below, but, because I almost always forget to mention it, I'll say here that I
am running a 32 bit user space on a 64 bit kernel.

The bisect ended up at:

7a3ef208e662f4b63d43a23f61a64a129c525bbc is the first bad commit

    mm: prevent endless growth of anon_vma hierarchy

    Constantly forking task causes unlimited grow of anon_vma chain.  Each
    next child allocates new level of anon_vmas and links vma to all
    previous levels because pages might be inherited from any level.

    This patch adds heuristic which decides to reuse existing anon_vma
    instead of forking new one.  It adds counter anon_vma->degree which
    counts linked vmas and directly descending anon_vmas and reuses anon_vma
    if counter is lower than two.  As a result each anon_vma has either vma
    or at least two descending anon_vmas.  In such trees half of nodes are
    leafs with alive vmas, thus count of anon_vmas is no more than two times
    bigger than count of vmas.

    This heuristic reuses anon_vmas as few as possible because each reuse
    adds false aliasing among vmas and rmap walker ought to scan more ptes
    when it searches where page is might be mapped.

I'm more than happy to provide additional diagnostics and/or test any patches, but please cc me as I'm not subscribed.

In case it helps, I've attached the xz-compressed related config file.
