Hi, Johannes and Greg Please consider to backport the following commit to stable kernels < 3.12. commit 3812c8c8f3953921ef18544110dafc3505c1ac62 Author: Johannes Weiner <hannes@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Sep 12 15:13:44 2013 -0700 mm: memcg: do not trap chargers with full callstack on OOM It should solve some soft lockup I observed on different machines recently. For me myself, I only care about 3.10. :-p commit 4942642080ea82d99ab5b65 (mm: memcg: handle non-error OOM situations more gracefully) seems needed as a followup. Johannes should know much better than I do. Let me know if you need any more information or help from me. Thanks much! -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
