The patch titled oom: remove unnecessary code and cleanup has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is oom-remove-unnecessary-code-and-cleanup.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: oom: remove unnecessary code and cleanup From: David Rientjes <rientjes@xxxxxxxxxx> Remove the redundancy in __oom_kill_task() since: - init can never be passed to this function: it will never be PF_EXITING or selectable from select_bad_process(), and - it will never be passed a task from oom_kill_task() without an ->mm and we're unconcerned about detachment from exiting tasks, there's no reason to protect them against SIGKILL or access to memory reserves. Also moves the kernel log message to a higher level since the verbosity is not always emitted here; we need not print an error message if an exiting task is given a longer timeslice. __oom_kill_task() only has a single caller, so it can be merged into that function at the same time.
