commit 30d77b7eef019fa4422980806e8b7cdc8674493e upstream. mem_cgroup_calculate_protection() is not stateless and should only be used as part of a top-down tree traversal. shrink_one() traverses the per-node memcg LRU instead of the root_mem_cgroup tree, and therefore it should not call mem_cgroup_calculate_protection(). The existing misuse in shrink_one() can cause ineffective protection of sub-trees that are grandchildren of root_mem_cgroup. Fix it by reusing lru_gen_age_node(), which already traverses the root_mem_cgroup tree, to calculate the protection. Previously lru_gen_age_node() opportunistically skips the first pass, i.e., when scan_control->priority is DEF_PRIORITY. On the second pass, lruvec_is_sizable() uses appropriate scan_control->priority, set by set_initial_priority() from lru_gen_shrink_node(), to decide whether a memcg is too small to reclaim from. Now lru_gen_age_node() unconditionally traverses the root_mem_cgroup tree. So it should call set_initial_priority() upfront, to make sure lruvec_is_sizable() uses appropriate scan_control->priority on the first pass. Otherwise, lruvec_is_reclaimable() can return false negatives and result in premature OOM kills when min_ttl_ms is used.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
