Subject: [PATCH v2] mm/oom_kill: simplify remaining RCU sections with scoped_guard(rcu)
Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2026 17:29:32 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260813092933.562028-1-ye.liu@linux.dev> (raw)

From: Ye Liu <liuye@kylinos.cn>

Replace the remaining manual rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pairs
in oom_cpuset_eligible(), select_bad_process(), dump_tasks(),
task_will_free_mem(), and __oom_kill_process() with scoped_guard(rcu)
for consistency and simpler control flow.  scoped_guard(rcu) limits
the RCU critical section to the loop body rather than the entire
remaining function scope, making the protected region explicit and
safer for future changes.

Signed-off-by: Ye Liu <liuye@kylinos.cn>

v2:
 - Use scoped_guard instead of guard.
 - Link:https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260813032634.344946-1-ye.liu@linux.dev/
