Subject: mm: nommu: set MMF_OOM_SKIP in exit_mmap()
Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2026 17:56:19 -0500

Commit 212925802454 ("mm: oom: let oom_reap_task and exit_mmap run
concurrently") moved setting MMF_OOM_SKIP from __mmput() into the MMU
exit_mmap(), so it is no longer set when a NOMMU mm is torn down.

As a result, a NOMMU OOM victim that has exited and freed its memory keeps
the OOM killer from selecting another victim until it is reaped.

Set MMF_OOM_SKIP in the NOMMU exit_mmap() once the VMAs are freed, as the
MMU version does.
