"[PATCH 6/6] mm, oom: fortify task_will_free_mem" depends on [PATCH 1/6]. You will need to update [PATCH 6/6]. It seems to me that [PATCH 6/6] resembles http://lkml.kernel.org/r/201605250005.GHH26082.JOtQOSLMFFOFVH@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx . I think we will be happy if we can speed up mm_is_reapable() test using "whether this mm might be shared between multiple thread groups" flag. I don't think updating such flag at clone() is too heavy operation to add. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
