The patch titled
Subject: mm: make vm_brk killable
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-make-vm_brk-killable.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
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.
