Subject: 2.6.25-rc4 OOMs itself dead on bootup

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

2.6.25-rc4 invokes the oom-killer repeatedly when attempting to boot,
eventually panicing with "Out of memory and no killable processes."
This happens since at least 2.6.25-rc3, but 2.6.24 boots just fine,

The system is a Dell Inspiron E1705 running Fedora 8 (x86_64).

My .config is at http://tuxrocks.com/tmp/config-2.6.25-rc4, and a syslog
of the system up until the point where it oom-killed syslog (just before
the panic) is at http://tuxrocks.com/tmp/oom-2.6.25-rc4.txt

i've picked up your .config and enabled a few drivers in it to make it
boot on a testsystem of mine and it doesnt OOM:

20:47:17 up 10 min, 1 user, load average: 0.01, 0.07, 0.03
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 1025768 258544 767224 0 12956 169556
-/+ buffers/cache: 76032 949736
Swap: 3911816 0 3911816

(config and bootlog from my box attached.)

So it's probably not a .config dependent generic kernel problem, but
probably something specific to your hardware.

Since the first oom happens about 9 minutes into the bootup:

[ 569.755853] sh invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x1201d2, order=0, oomkilladj=-17

do you have any chance to log in and capture MM statistics? The
following script will capture a bunch of statistics:

http://people.redhat.com/mingo/cfs-scheduler/tools/cfs-debug-info.sh

and takes less than a minute to run - should be enough time in theory.
If it's possible to run it then send us the output file it produces.

Thank you for the help, and for the time.

I did some additional debugging, and I believe you're correct about it
being specific to my system. The system seems to run fine until some
time during the boot. I booted with "init=/bin/sh" (that's how the
system stayed up for 9 minutes), then it died when I tried starting
things up. I've further narrowed the OOM down to udev (though it's not
entirely udev's fault, since 2.6.24 runs fine).

I ran your debug info tool before killing the box by running
/sbin/start_udev. The output of the tool is at
http://tuxrocks.com/tmp/cfs-debug-info-2008.03.06-14.11.24

Something is apparently happening between 2.6.24 and 2.6.25-rc[34] which
causes udev (or something it calls) to behave very badly.

I'll keep looking further into the cause. Thanks again for the help.

Frank

Found it. The culprit is 8f47f0b688bba7642dac4e979896e4692177670b
dcdbas: add DMI-based module autloading

DMI autoload dcdbas on all Dell systems.

This looks for BIOS Vendor or System Vendor == Dell, so this should
work for systems both Dell-branded and those Dell builds but brands
for others. It causes udev to load the dcdbas module at startup,
which is used by tools called by HAL for wireless control and
backlight control, among other uses.

What actually happens is that when udev loads the dcdbas module at
startup, modprobe apparently calls "modprobe dcdbas" itself, repeating
until the system runs out of resources (in this case, it OOMs).

# ps axf
...
506 ? S 0:00 /bin/bash /sbin/start_udev
590 ? S 0:00 \_ /sbin/udevsettle
533 ? S<s 0:00 /sbin/udevd -d
629 ? S< 0:00 \_ /sbin/udevd -d
630 ? S< 0:00 | \_ /sbin/modprobe
dmi:bvnDellInc.:bvrA08:bd04/02/2007:svnDellInc.:pnMP061:pvr:rvnDellInc.:rn0YD479:rvr:cvnDellInc.:ct8:cvr:
949 ? S< 0:00 | \_ /sbin/modprobe dcdbas
950 ? S< 0:00 | \_ /sbin/modprobe dcdbas
951 ? S< 0:00 | \_ /sbin/modprobe dcdbas
953 ? S< 0:00 | \_ /sbin/modprobe dcdbas
955 ? S< 0:00 | \_ /sbin/modprobe dcdbas
958 ? S< 0:00 | \_
/sbin/modprobe dcdbas
...repeat...

When the system crashed, there were at least 11,600 instances of
"/sbin/modprobe dcdbas", each calling the next.

Reverting 8f47f0b lets the system boot up just fine again. Note that a
manual "modprobe dcdbas" also causes this recursive behavior, it's just
not forced on the system by udev.

So dcdbas is a regression from 2.6.24, as well as being broken in other
ways.

nice work! I've attached the revert below against latest -git - just in
case no-one can think of an obvious fix to this bug.

Frank, what version of module-init-tools do you have? This has been
in use in Fedora 8 for a few months, and this is the first failure
report I've seen.

I'm fine with reverting the patch for now, but really do want to get
to root cause, because module autoloading is a really good idea, and
it would be a shame if we couldn't keep that feature enabled because
some systems have incompatible module-init-tools, and the kernel can't
know that... (Perhaps udev could know and not invoke modprobe in
those instances?)

It's module-init-tools-3.4-2.fc8.x86_64 (most recent Fedora rpm available).

Frank, can you grep for 'dcdbas' in the modprobe config files:
modprobe -c | grep dcdbas
?

I wonder what's going on here, that modprobe calls itself.

Thanks,

Aha. This is indeed where the problem was. A line in the modprobe
config files was supposed to cause dcdbas to load, but was instead
causing modprobe to call itself repeatedly for dcdbas. I don't know why
an incorrect line was there, but removing it from the config allows
dcdbas to load without problem manually, and the autoload patch loads it
automatically.

Sincere apologies to everyone for causing the fire drill on a false
alarm. Since fixing my config makes things work again, and nobody else
sees the problem, the autoload patch should stay.

Thanks for the help tracking down the issue.

Ok, so I'll see if I can find a Dell system in the office to reproduce
this on Monday. Any Dell should do, right Matt?
