The patch titled
memcg: give current access to memory reserves if it's trying to die
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
memcg-give-current-access-to-memory-reserves-if-its-trying-to-die.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/

Subject: memcg: give current access to memory reserves if it's trying to die
From: David Rientjes <rientjes@xxxxxxxxxx>
When a memcg is oom and current has already received a SIGKILL, then give
it access to memory reserves with a higher scheduling priority so that it
may quickly exit and free its memory.
This is identical to the global oom killer and is done even before
checking for panic_on_oom: a pending SIGKILL here while panic_on_oom is
selected is guaranteed to have come from userspace; the thread only needs
access to memory reserves to exit and thus we don't unnecessarily panic
the machine until the kernel has no last resort to free memory.
