Seems incorrect. CAP_SYS_RAWIO tasks usually both use GFP_KERNEL and GFP_DMA. Even if last allocation is GFP_KERNEL, it doesn't provide any gurantee the process doesn't have any in flight I/O. Then, we can't remove for RAWIO protection from oom heuristics. but the code itself seems ok though. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxx For more info on Linux MM, see: http://www.linux-mm.org/ .
