Hi, I have split the patch sent previously http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=143323521519798&w=2 into two parts. The first patch prevents from the panic when OOM killer is sysrq triggered. This is an obvious bug fix and hopefuly not controversial. I still believe that combining the regular and the sysrq triggered OOM paths is ugly, error prone and it deserves a split up which is done in the second patch. There are no functional changes introduced there. I have dropped __oom_kill_process part because this one turned out to be harmless for for the sysrq+f path - I couldn't have found any interruptible sleep after exit_signals. I find the resulting code easier to follow (35 (+), 22 (-) sounds like a reasonable code overhead for that purpose). -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
