[LTP] [PATCH v2] lib: memutils: respect minimum memory watermark when polluting memory

[liuxp11@chinatelecom.cn]

Hi, 
Why not to directly read minimum memory watermark from /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes?

Thanks！

Subject: [LTP] [PATCH v2] lib: memutils: respect minimum memory watermark when polluting memory



Previous fix for an out-of-memory killer killing ioctl_sg01 process



in commit 4d2e3d44fad5 ("lib: memutils: don't pollute



entire system memory to avoid OoM") was not fully effective.  While it



covers most of the cases, an ARM64 machine with 128 GB of memory, 64 kB



page size and v5.11 kernel hit it again.  Polluting the memory fails



with OoM:



 



  LTP: starting ioctl_sg01



  ioctl_sg01 invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x100dca(GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE|__GFP_ZERO), order=0, oom_score_adj=0



  ...

  lowmem_reserve[]: 0 0 0 0 0



 



The important part are details of memory on Node 0 in Normal zone:



1. free memory: 6460096 kB



2. min (minimum watermark): 6463168 kB



 



Parse the /proc/zoneinfo and include the "min" data when counting safety



(free memory which should not be polluted).  This way we also include



minimum memory for DMA zones and all nodes.

Changes since v1:



1. Add static and rename to count_min_pages().
