Hi, some of these patches have been posted already: http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=143462145830969&w=2 This series contains an additional fix for another sysrq+f issue reported off mailing list (patch #2). First two patches are clear fixes. The third patch is from David with my minor changes. The last patch is a cleanup but I have put it after others because it has seen some opposition in the past. Shortlog says: David Rientjes (1): mm, oom: organize oom context into struct Michal Hocko (3): oom: Do not panic when OOM killer is sysrq triggered oom: Do not invoke oom notifiers on sysrq+f oom: split out forced OOM killer Thanks!
