From: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm,oom: remove oom_lock serialization from the OOM reaper
Since "mm,oom: Move last second allocation to inside the OOM killer."
changed to do last second allocation attempt after confirming that there
is no OOM victim's mm without MMF_OOM_SKIP set, we no longer need to block
the OOM reaper using oom_lock. This patch should allow start reclaiming
earlier than now.
