Subject: [patch 01/14] alpha: invoke oom-killer from page fault
Date: Fri, 23 Apr 2010 02:06:14 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100422161222.762354051@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20100422160613.723698029@suse.de
[-- Attachment #1: alpha-pagefault-use-oom.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1105 bytes --]
As explained in commit 1c0fe6e3bd, we want to call the architecture independent
oom killer when getting an unexplained OOM from handle_mm_fault, rather than
simply killing current.
