The patch titled oom: swapoff tasks tweak has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is oom-swapoff-tasks-tweak.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: oom: swapoff tasks tweak From: Nick Piggin <npiggin@xxxxxxx> PF_SWAPOFF processes currently cause select_bad_process to return straight away. Instead, give them high priority, so we will kill them first, however we also first ensure no parallel OOM kills are happening at the same time.
