dmesg log of crash

This happens mostly during memory pressure but I am not sure how to trigger it reliably. I am attaching the full log.

This is the kernel commandline

>rd.luks.name=92b4aeb2-fb97-45c1-8a60-2816efe5d57e=home resume=/dev/mapper/home

>zswap.max_pool_percent=5 transparent_hugepage=madvise scsi_mod.use_blk_mq=1
>vga=current initrd=../intel-ucode.img,../initramfs-linux.img

I found this bug https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198585 to be very similar but the proposed fix has not been merged so I can't be sure if it will fix the issue I am having.

This seems related from Chrome OS:

I'm afraid that I don't currently have the resources to test the patches (that haven't been committed upstream) at the moment, although I may need to in the end as one of my servers is crashing every day.

Wait a second, you are sitting on a discontinued kernel. The fix has gone in back in December. Upgrade to longterm series, it's there since 4.19.6, and retest. Otherwise I do suggest that we close this issue.

As above: this should be fixed in Disco, though I have only just switched to the upstream kernel for testing, I suspect that Jagannathan's testing is correct.

This is a very serious stability issue in the Ubuntu kernel and really should have had some sort of interaction here by now. It is probably being avoided in the wild by scaling busy systems, but that's not an option for everyone.

As an aside: I'm seeing much better system response time using zRAM alone than I am using zswap alone, but this may have improved in the newer kernel. In both cases though I am using KSM and THP which clearly improve memory use.

Hello Ken,

do you have a command to reproduce this? I would like to use it to verify the fix.

I tired this on a Cosmic KVM allocated with 2G ram, 512MB swap, with:
* "zswap.enabled=1 zswap.zpool=z3fold zswap.max_pool_percent=5 zswap.compressor=lz4" added to the grub
* z3pool, lz4, lz4_compress module added to initramfs

and stress it with the stress command with 115% of available memory.

stress --vm-bytes $(awk '/MemAvailable/{printf "%d\n", $2 * 1.15;}' < /proc/meminfo)k --vm-keep -m 1

All I got is a soft CPU lockup. Or should I leave it there for a while?
Thanks

Ken Sharp (kennybobs) wrote on 2019-04-03:

I don't recall seeing a soft lockup at all, not a related one anyway. Sadly I don't have a specific command but I did find it triggered when:

1. Memory is overcommited. It doesn't have to be heavily overcommitted.
2. I/O is very high.
3. I “leave“ an SSH session, releasing a small amount of memory.

The patch seems to suggest that it is this release that causes the problem. My guess would be that part of the session is already in the compressed cache, and it is released while another process attempts to enter the compressed cache. I don't even know if that makes sense.

To add to the confusion: it crashes fairly consistently across VMs and bare metal, but occasionally a server under the same sort of stress, and otherwise identical setup, can run weeks or months without issue.

At this point, though, I know of no specific command to trigger it. If I get time I can have a play around but that may never happen.

I usually have zswap.max_pool_percent=50, but everything else can vary and the result is the same.

Can be reproduced easily with Cosmic kernel, patch works as expected. A test kernel could be found here: http://people.canonical.com/~phlin/kernel/lp-1814874-z3fold-zswap/Cosmic/
