[RFC] Getting rid of INFLIGHT_VICTIM

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The "mm, oom: cgroup-aware OOM killer" patchset is about to introduce
INFLIGHT_VICTIM in order to replace open-coded ((void *)-1UL). But
(regarding CONFIG_MMU=y case) we have a list of inflight OOM victim
threads which are connected to oom_reaper_list. Then, I think that we
can check whether there are inflight OOM victims before starting
process/memcg list traversal. Since it is likely that only few threads
are linked to oom_reaper_list, checking MMF_OOM_SKIP should not be heavy.

Then, I think that checking whether there are inflight OOM victims before
starting process/memcg list traversal can eliminate the "abort" path (like
shown below) and simplify "abort" path handling at out_of_memory().

What do you think?
