This series removes the local_irq_disable() around list_lru_shrink_walk() (as used by mm/workingset) by adding list_lru_shrink_walk_irq(). Vladimir Davydov preferred this over an `irq' argument which I added to struct list_lru. The initial post (of this series) received a Reviewed-by tag by Vladimir Davydov which I added to each patch of the series. The series applies on top of akpm's tree which has Kirill's shrink_slab series and does not clash with it (akpm asked me to wait a week or so and repost it then). I tested the code paths by triggering the OOM-killer via memory over commit and lockdep did not complain (nor did I see any warnings). Sebastian Sebastian
