The patch titled
oom: fix constraint deadlock
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
oom-fix-constraint-deadlock.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: oom: fix constraint deadlock
From: David Rientjes <rientjes@xxxxxxxxxx>
Fixes a deadlock in the OOM killer for allocations that are not
__GFP_HARDWALL.
Before the OOM killer checks for the allocation constraint, it takes
callback_mutex.
constrained_alloc() iterates through each zone in the allocation zonelist
and calls cpuset_zone_allowed_softwall() to determine whether an allocation
for gfp_mask is possible. If a zone's node is not in the OOM-triggering
task's mems_allowed, it is not exiting, and we did not fail on a
__GFP_HARDWALL allocation, cpuset_zone_allowed_softwall() attempts to take
callback_mutex to check the nearest exclusive ancestor of current's cpuset.
This results in deadlock.
We now take callback_mutex after iterating through the zonelist since we
don't need it yet.
