lmkd: fix low swap threshold failing to update after reinit lmkd calculates low swap threshold using total available swap and ro.lmk.swap_free_low_percentage property. A wrong assumption is made that both these values are constant and therefore the threshold can be calculated once and reused later. However ro.lmk.swap_free_low_percentage can be changed by the user and lmkd --reinit issued to reapply new configuration. If that happens low swap threshold will not be updated. Fix this by calculating the threshold whenever it is used. The overhead of that calculation is negligible. Bug: 203161607 Test: setprop ro.lmk.swap_free_low_percentage <new value>; lmkd --reinit Signed-off-by: Suren Baghdasaryan <surenb@google.com> Change-Id: Idff50655a75d006ea86d9ab10ca54c375c4bea46
Android Low Memory Killer Daemon (lmkd) is a process monitoring memory state of a running Android system and reacting to high memory pressure by killing the least essential process(es) to keep system performing at acceptable levels.
Historically on Android systems memory monitoring and killing of non-essential processes was handled by a kernel lowmemorykiller driver. Since Linux Kernel 4.12 the lowmemorykiller driver has been removed and instead userspace lmkd daemon performs these tasks.
lmkd can be configured on a particular system using the following Android properties:
ro.config.low_ram: choose between low-memory vs high-performance device. Default = false.
ro.lmk.use_minfree_levels: use free memory and file cache thresholds for making decisions when to kill. This mode works the same way kernel lowmemorykiller driver used to work. Default = false
ro.lmk.low: min oom_adj score for processes eligible to be killed at low vmpressure level. Default = 1001 (disabled)
ro.lmk.medium: min oom_adj score for processes eligible to be killed at medium vmpressure level. Default = 800 (non-essential processes)
ro.lmk.critical: min oom_adj score for processes eligible to be killed at critical vmpressure level. Default = 0 (all processes)
ro.lmk.critical_upgrade: enables upgrade to critical level. Default = false
ro.lmk.upgrade_pressure: max mem_pressure at which level will be upgraded because system is swapping too much. Default = 100 (disabled)
ro.lmk.downgrade_pressure: min mem_pressure at which vmpressure event will be ignored because enough free memory is still available. Default = 100 (disabled)
ro.lmk.kill_heaviest_task: kill heaviest eligible task (best decision) vs. any eligible task (fast decision). Default = false
ro.lmk.kill_timeout_ms: duration in ms after a kill when no additional kill will be done. Default = 0 (disabled)
ro.lmk.debug: enable lmkd debug logs, Default = false
ro.lmk.swap_free_low_percentage: level of free swap as a percentage of the total swap space used as a threshold to consider the system as swap space starved. Default for low-RAM devices = 10, for high-end devices = 20
ro.lmk.thrashing_limit: number of workingset refaults as a percentage of the file-backed pagecache size used as a threshold to consider system thrashing its pagecache. Default for low-RAM devices = 30, for high-end devices = 100
ro.lmk.thrashing_limit_decay: thrashing threshold decay expressed as a percentage of the original threshold used to lower the threshold when system does not recover even after a kill. Default for low-RAM devices = 50, for high-end devices = 10
ro.lmk.psi_partial_stall_ms: partial PSI stall threshold in milliseconds for triggering low memory notification. Default for low-RAM devices = 200, for high-end devices = 70
ro.lmk.psi_complete_stall_ms: complete PSI stall threshold in milliseconds for triggering critical memory notification. Default = 700
lmkd will set the following Android properties according to current system configurations:
sys.lmk.minfree_levels: minfree:oom_adj_score pairs, delimited by comma
sys.lmk.reportkills: whether or not it supports reporting process kills to clients. Test app should check this property before testing low memory kill notification. Default will be unset.
