The patch titled Subject: memcg, oom: notify on oom killer invocation from the charge path has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was memcg-oom-notify-on-oom-killer-invocation-from-the-charge-path.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx> Subject: memcg, oom: notify on oom killer invocation from the charge path Burt Holzman has noticed that memcg v1 doesn't notify about OOM events via eventfd anymore. The reason is that 29ef680ae7c2 ("memcg, oom: move out_of_memory back to the charge path") has moved the oom handling back to the charge path. While doing so the notification was left behind in mem_cgroup_oom_synchronize. Fix the issue by replicating the oom hierarchy locking and the notification.
