David Rientjes 098d7f128a oom: add per-zone locking
OOM killer synchronization should be done with zone granularity so that memory
policy and cpuset allocations may have their corresponding zones locked and
allow parallel kills for other OOM conditions that may exist elsewhere in the
system.  DMA allocations can be targeted at the zone level, which would not be
possible if locking was done in nodes or globally.

Synchronization shall be done with a variation of "trylocks." The goal is to
put the current task to sleep and restart the failed allocation attempt later
if the trylock fails.  Otherwise, the OOM killer is invoked.

Each zone in the zonelist that __alloc_pages() was called with is checked for
the newly-introduced ZONE_OOM_LOCKED flag.  If any zone has this flag present,
the "trylock" to serialize the OOM killer fails and returns zero.  Otherwise,
all the zones have ZONE_OOM_LOCKED set and the try_set_zone_oom() function
returns non-zero.

* Thanks go out to Claus Fischer for some serious inspiration and
* for goading me into coding this file...
*
* The routines in this file are used to kill a process when
* we're seriously out of memory. This gets called from __alloc_pages()
* in mm/page_alloc.c when we really run out of memory.
*
* Since we won't call these routines often (on a well-configured
* machine) this file will double as a 'coding guide' and a signpost
* for newbie kernel hackers. It features several pointers to major
* kernel subsystems and hints as to where to find out what things do.

* The formula used is relatively simple and documented inline in the

* to kill when we run out of memory.
*
* Good in this context means that:
* 1) we lose the minimum amount of work done
* 2) we recover a large amount of memory
* 3) we don't kill anything innocent of eating tons of memory
* 4) we want to kill the minimum amount of processes (one)
* 5) we try to kill the process the user expects us to kill, this
* algorithm has been meticulously tuned to meet the principle
* of least surprise ... (be careful when you change it)
