From f9434ad1552427fab49336e1a6e3ef121895b9d1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Rientjes Date: Wed, 23 Mar 2011 16:42:44 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] memcg: give current access to memory reserves if it's trying to die 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.
