The patch titled Subject: mm: make vm_brk killable has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is mm-make-vm_brk-killable.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/mm-make-vm_brk-killable.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/mm-make-vm_brk-killable.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: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx> Subject: mm: make vm_brk killable Now that all the callers handle vm_brk failure we can change it wait for mmap_sem killable to help oom_reaper to not get blocked just because vm_brk gets blocked behind mmap_sem readers.
