Hi Naresh, Naresh Kamboju writes:quoted
As a part of investigation on this issue LKFT teammate Anders Roxell git bisected the problem and found bad commit(s) which caused this problem. The following two patches have been reverted on next-20200519 and retested the reproducible steps and confirmed the test case mkfs -t ext4 got PASS. ( invoked oom-killer is gone now) Revert "mm, memcg: avoid stale protection values when cgroup is above protection" This reverts commit 23a53e1c02006120f89383270d46cbd040a70bc6. Revert "mm, memcg: decouple e{low,min} state mutations from protection checks" This reverts commit 7b88906ab7399b58bb088c28befe50bcce076d82.Thanks Anders and Naresh for tracking this down and reverting. I'll take a look tomorrow. I don't see anything immediately obviously wrong in either of those commits from a (very) cursory glance, but they should only be taking effect if protections are set.Agreed. If memory.{low,min} is not used then the patch should be effectively a nop. Btw. do you see the problem when booting with cgroup_disable=memory kernel command line parameter?With extra kernel command line parameters, cgroup_disable=memory I have noticed a differ problem now. + mkfs -t ext4 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-TOSHIBA_MG04ACA100N_Y8NRK0BPF6XF mke2fs 1.43.8 (1-Jan-2018) Creating filesystem with 244190646 4k blocks and 61054976 inodes Filesystem UUID: 3bb1a285-2cb4-44b4-b6e8-62548f3ac620 Superblock backups stored on blocks: 32768, 98304, 163840, 229376, 294912, 819200, 884736, 1605632, 2654208, 4096000, 7962624, 11239424, 20480000, 23887872, 71663616, 78675968, 102400000, 214990848 Allocating group tables: 0/7453 done Writing inode tables: 0/7453 done Creating journal (262144 blocks): [ 35.502102] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 000000c8 [ 35.508372] #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode [ 35.513506] #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page [ 35.518638] *pde = 00000000 [ 35.521514] Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP [ 35.524652] CPU: 0 PID: 145 Comm: kswapd0 Not tainted 5.7.0-rc6-next-20200519+ #1 [ 35.532121] Hardware name: Supermicro SYS-5019S-ML/X11SSH-F, BIOS 2.2 05/23/2018 [ 35.539507] EIP: mem_cgroup_get_nr_swap_pages+0x28/0x60Could you get faddr2line for this offset?No need for that, I can help with the "cgroup_disabled=memory" crash: I've been happily running with the fixup below, but haven't got to send it in yet (and wouldn't normally be reading mail at this time!) because of busy chasing a couple of other bugs (not necessarily mm); and maybe the fix would be better with explicit mem_cgroup_disabled() test, or maybe that should be where cgroup_memory_noswap is decided - up to Johannes.Thanks Hugh. I can see what is the problem now. I was looking at the Linus' tree and we have a different code there long nr_swap_pages = get_nr_swap_pages(); if (!do_swap_account || !cgroup_subsys_on_dfl(memory_cgrp_subsys)) return nr_swap_pages; which would be impossible to crash so I was really wondering what is going on here. But there are other changes in the mmotm which I haven't reviewed yet. Looking at the next tree now it is a fallout from "mm: memcontrol: prepare swap controller setup for integration". !memcg check slightly more cryptic than an explicit mem_cgroup_disabled but I would just leave it to Johannes as well.
Very much appreciate you guys tracking it down so quickly. Sorry about the breakage. I think mem_cgroup_disabled() checks are pretty good markers of public entry points to the memcg API, so I'd prefer that even if a bit more verbose.

do_memsw_account() used to be automatically false when the cgroup controller was disabled. Now that it's replaced by cgroup_memory_noswap, for which this isn't true, make the mem_cgroup_disabled() checks explicit in the swap control API.
