The patch titled Subject: mm, oom: task_will_free_mem should skip oom_reaped tasks has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-oom-task_will_free_mem-should-skip-oom_reaped-tasks.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx> Subject: mm, oom: task_will_free_mem should skip oom_reaped tasks 0-day robot has encountered the following: [ 82.694232] Out of memory: Kill process 3914 (trinity-c0) score 167 or sacrifice child [ 82.695110] Killed process 3914 (trinity-c0) total-vm:55864kB, anon-rss:1512kB, file-rss:1088kB, shmem-rss:25616kB [ 82.706724] oom_reaper: reaped process 3914 (trinity-c0), now anon-rss:0kB, file-rss:0kB, shmem-rss:26488kB [ 82.715540] oom_reaper: reaped process 3914 (trinity-c0), now anon-rss:0kB, file-rss:0kB, shmem-rss:26900kB [ 82.717662] oom_reaper: reaped process 3914 (trinity-c0), now anon-rss:0kB, file-rss:0kB, shmem-rss:26900kB [ 82.725804] oom_reaper: reaped process 3914 (trinity-c0), now anon-rss:0kB, file-rss:0kB, shmem-rss:27296kB [ 82.739091] oom_reaper: reaped process 3914 (trinity-c0), now anon-rss:0kB, file-rss:0kB, shmem-rss:28148kB oom_reaper is trying to reap the same task again and again. This is possible only when the oom killer is bypassed because of task_will_free_mem because we skip over tasks with MMF_OOM_REAPED already set during select_bad_process. Teach task_will_free_mem to skip over MMF_OOM_REAPED tasks as well because they will be unlikely to free anything more. Analyzed by Tetsuo Handa.
