What happened to oom-reaper-handle-mlocked-pages.patch? I have it in
-mm but I don't see it in this v6.
From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx>
Subject: oom reaper: handle mlocked pages
__oom_reap_vmas current skips over all mlocked vmas because they need a
special treatment before they are unmapped. This is primarily done for
simplicity. There is no reason to skip over them and reduce the amount of
reclaimed memory. This is safe from the semantic point of view because
try_to_unmap_one during rmap walk would keep tell the reclaim to cull the
page back and mlock it again.
munlock_vma_pages_all is also safe to be called from the oom reaper
context because it doesn't sit on any locks but mmap_sem (for read).
