All of your tasks are in D state other than kthreads, right? That means they won't be in the oom killer (thus no zones are oom locked), so you can easily do this struct zone *z; for_each_populated_zone(z) zone_set_flag(z, ZONE_OOM_LOCKED); and then for_each_populated_zone(z) zone_clear_flag(z, ZONE_OOM_LOCKED); The serialization is done with trylocks so this will never invoke the oom killer because all zones in the allocator's zonelist will be oom locked. Why does this not work for you? _______________________________________________ linux-pm mailing list linux-pm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-pm
