The patch titled oom: do not take callback_mutex has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was oom-do-not-take-callback_mutex.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: oom: do not take callback_mutex From: David Rientjes <rientjes@xxxxxxxxxx> Since no task descriptor's 'cpuset' field is dereferenced in the execution of the OOM killer anymore, it is no longer necessary to take callback_mutex.
