This is my alternative proposal compared to what Michal posted at http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1467365190-24640-1-git-send-email-mhocko@xxxxxxxxxx . The series is based on top of linux-next-20160701 + http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1467201562-6709-1-git-send-email-mhocko@xxxxxxxxxx . The key point of the series is [PATCH 3/8]. [PATCH 1/8] can be sent to current linux.git as a clean up. The series does not include patches for use_mm() users and wait_event() in oom_killer_disable(). Thus, some of Michal's patches can be added on top of the series. [PATCH 1/8] mm,oom_reaper: Remove pointless kthread_run() failure check. [PATCH 2/8] mm,oom_reaper: Reduce find_lock_task_mm() usage. [PATCH 3/8] mm,oom: Use list of mm_struct used by OOM victims. [PATCH 4/8] mm,oom: Remove OOM_SCAN_ABORT case. [PATCH 5/8] mm,oom: Remove unused signal_struct->oom_victims. [PATCH 6/8] mm,oom_reaper: Stop clearing TIF_MEMDIE on remote thread. [PATCH 7/8] mm,oom_reaper: Pass OOM victim's comm and pid values via mm_struct. [PATCH 8/8] mm,oom_reaper: Make OOM reaper use list of mm_struct. include/linux/mm_types.h | 12 + include/linux/oom.h | 16 -- include/linux/sched.h | 4 kernel/exit.c | 2 kernel/fork.c | 1 kernel/power/process.c | 12 - mm/memcontrol.c | 16 -- mm/oom_kill.c | 336 +++++++++++++++++++++-------------------------- 8 files changed, 177 insertions(+), 222 deletions(-) -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
