Subject: [GIT PULL] percpu fixes for v4.16-rc6
Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2018 14:29:46 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180319212946.GI519464@devbig577.frc2.facebook.com> (raw)

Hello, Linus.

Late percpu pull request for v4.16-rc6.

* percpu allocator pool replenishing no longer triggers OOM or warning
  messages.  Also, the alloc interface now understands __GFP_NORETRY
  and __GFP_NOWARN.  This is to allow avoiding OOMs from userland
  triggered actions like bpf map creation.  Also added cond_resched()
  in alloc loop.

* perpcu allocation now can be interrupted by kill sigs to avoid
  deadlocking OOM killer.

* Added Dennis Zhou as a co-maintainer.  He has rewritten the area map
  allocator, understands most of the code base and has been responsive
  for all bug reports.

Thanks.
