Subject3.10 page_fault/mmap_sem/hugepages deadlock
From
Date
On 3.10.0-123.9.3.el7.x86_64 I am seeing a deadlock on mmap_sem which
causes ps(1) and similar utilities to freeze and our application to stop
functioning. Looking at the kernel crash dump (first time for me), it
looks like a page fault on a huge page is holding the mmap_sem and then
goes to sleep. The other processes such as khugepaged, ps(1), pgrep(1)
and netstat(8) are all blocked on mmap_sem and are unkillable with kill
-9.

The back trace for the suspect problem page fault looks like this:

In frame 8, __do_page_fault() calls down_read(&mm->mmap_sem) on line 1138
and looks like it is holding it when it calls handle_mm_fault() on line 1193.
It looks like handle_mm_fault() eventually sleeps holding mmap_sem and doesn't
wake up.

The above process is hung up like ps(1) and friends and unkillable with kill -9.

khugepaged is blocked waiting for mmap_sem as well in frame 4 below:

ps(1), pgrep(1) and netstat(8) are all blocked in the same way.
__access_remote_vm() is blocked waiting on down_read(&mm->mmap_sem).

I'll include one back trace as an example:

I searched the archives for similar reports and found this thread from 2010:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=127005640811303&w=2
But that seems like it was resolved long ago.

Please let me know if any additional information is needed to help
diagnose the problem. I can reproduce it under heavy load in about
24 hours.

Regards,
