The patch titled Subject: mm, oom: pass an oom order of -1 when triggered by sysrq has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is mm-oom-pass-an-oom-order-of-1-when-triggered-by-sysrq.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/mm-oom-pass-an-oom-order-of-1-when-triggered-by-sysrq.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/mm-oom-pass-an-oom-order-of-1-when-triggered-by-sysrq.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: David Rientjes <rientjes@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm, oom: pass an oom order of -1 when triggered by sysrq The force_kill member of struct oom_control isn't needed if an order of -1 is used instead. This is the same as order == -1 in struct compact_control which requires full memory compaction. This patch introduces no functional change.
