There's also the little fact that prior to that commit, the OOMs don't happen at all as far as I can tell. I don't know for certain that the OOMs don't happen on the commits that have come up good. Sadly, all I can say is that after running N commits, I haven't seen an OOM. David -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
