I showed you at http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=144198479931388 that changing the default behavior can not terminate the game of Whack-A-Mole. As long as there are unkillable threads, we can't kill context-sensitive moles. I believe that what we need to do now is to add a proactive countermeasure (e.g. kill more processes) than try to reduce the possibility of hitting this issue (e.g. allow !__GFP_FS to fail). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
