Since I cannot establish workload that caused December 24's natural OOM
killers, I used the following stressor for generating similar situation.
The fileio.c fills up all memory with file cache and tries to keep them
on memory. The fork.c is flood of order-2 allocation generator because
December 24's OOM killers were triggered by copy_process() which involves
order-2 allocation request.
---------- fileio.c start ----------
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <signal.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int i;
static char buffer[4096];
signal(SIGCHLD, SIG_IGN);
for (i = 0; i < 2; i++) {
int fd;
int j;
snprintf(buffer, sizeof(buffer), "/tmp/file.%u", i);
fd = open(buffer, O_RDWR | O_CREAT, 0600);
memset(buffer, 0, sizeof(buffer));
for (j = 0; j < 1048576 * 1000 / 4096; j++) /* 1000 is MemTotal / 2 */
write(fd, buffer, sizeof(buffer));
close(fd);
}
for (i = 0; i < 2; i++) {
if (fork() == 0) {
int fd;
snprintf(buffer, sizeof(buffer), "/tmp/file.%u", i);
fd = open(buffer, O_RDWR);
memset(buffer, 0, sizeof(buffer));
while (fd != EOF) {
lseek(fd, 0, SEEK_SET);
while (read(fd, buffer, sizeof(buffer)) == sizeof(buffer));
}
_exit(0);
}
}
if (fork() == 0) {
execl("./fork", "./fork", NULL);
_exit(1);
}
if (fork() == 0) {
sleep(1);
execl("./fork", "./fork", NULL);
_exit(1);
}
while (1)
system("pidof fork | wc");
return 0;
}
---------- fileio.c end ----------
---------- fork.c start ----------
#include <unistd.h>
#include <signal.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int i;
signal(SIGCHLD, SIG_IGN);
while (1) {
sleep(5);
for (i = 0; i < 2000; i++) {
if (fork() == 0) {
sleep(3);
_exit(0);
}
}
}
}
---------- fork.c end ----------
This reproducer also showed that once the OOM killer is invoked,
subsequent OOM killers tend to occur shortly because file cache
do not decrease.
