The quilt patch titled Subject: mm: drop oom code from exit_mmap has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-drop-oom-code-from-exit_mmap.patch This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged ------------------------------------------------------ From: Suren Baghdasaryan <surenb@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm: drop oom code from exit_mmap Date: Mon, 16 May 2022 00:56:18 -0700 The primary reason to invoke the oom reaper from the exit_mmap path used to be a prevention of an excessive oom killing if the oom victim exit races with the oom reaper (see [1] for more details). The invocation has moved around since then because of the interaction with the munlock logic but the underlying reason has remained the same (see [2]). Munlock code is no longer a problem since [3] and there shouldn't be any blocking operation before the memory is unmapped by exit_mmap so the oom reaper invocation can be dropped. The unmapping part can be done with the non-exclusive mmap_sem and the exclusive one is only required when page tables are freed. Remove the oom_reaper from exit_mmap which will make the code easier to read. This is really unlikely to make any observable difference although some microbenchmarks could benefit from one less branch that needs to be evaluated even though it almost never is true.
