I think that having a single output once we are done is better but I do not have a strong opinion on this. Btw. here is the changelog for the cleanup. " Andrew has noticed someinconsistencies in oom_reap_task_mm. Notably - Undocumented return value. - comment "failed to reap part..." is misleading - sounds like it's referring to something which happened in the past, is in fact referring to something which might happen in the future. - fails to call trace_finish_task_reaping() in one case - code duplication. - Increases mmap_sem hold time a little by moving trace_finish_task_reaping() inside the locked region. So sue me ;) - Sharing the finish: path means that the trace event won't distinguish between the two sources of finishing. Add a short explanation for the return value and fix the rest by reorganizing the function a bit to have unified function exit paths.
