Sorry, my operation error. I didn't know I can't do like below.

  git send-email --to="rcpt1 rcpt2" --cc="rcpt3 rcpt4 rcpt5" file.patch

Thus, I resent the identical patch. Not a toolchain problem.

That NACK will not matter if a draft patch shown bottom is acceptable.

I got a question about commit 9cbb78bb314360a8 "mm, memcg: introduce own
oom handler to iterate only over its own threads" while trying to kill
duplicated oom_unkillable_task() checks by merging oom_scan_process_thread()
into oom_badness().

Currently, oom_scan_process_thread() is doing

  if (oom_unkillable_task(p, NULL, oc->nodemask))
  	return OOM_SCAN_CONTINUE;

and oom_badness() is doing

  if (oom_unkillable_task(p, memcg, nodemask))
  	return 0;

.

For normal OOM case, out_of_memory() is calling

  oom_scan_process_thread(oc, p, totalpages)
  oom_badness(p, NULL, oc->nodemask, totalpages)

which is translated to

  if (oom_unkillable_task(p, NULL, oc->nodemask))
      return OOM_SCAN_CONTINUE;
  if (oom_unkillable_task(p, NULL, oc->nodemask))
      return 0;

.

But for memcg OOM case, mem_cgroup_out_of_memory() is calling

  oom_scan_process_thread(oc, p, totalpages)
  oom_badness(p, memcg, NULL, totalpages)

which is translated to

  if (oom_unkillable_task(p, NULL, NULL))
      return OOM_SCAN_CONTINUE;
  if (oom_unkillable_task(p, memcg, NULL))
      return 0;

.

Commit 9cbb78bb314360a8 changed oom_scan_process_thread() to
always pass memcg == NULL by removing memcg argument from
oom_scan_process_thread(). As a result, after that commit,
we are doing test_tsk_thread_flag(p, TIF_MEMDIE) check and
oom_task_origin(p) check between two oom_unkillable_task()
calls of memcg OOM case. Why don't we skip these checks by
passing memcg != NULL to first oom_unkillable_task() call?
Was this change by error?
