If you believe there is a problem with the use of MMF_UNSTABLE as it sits
in -mm, please follow up directly in the thread that proposed the patch.
I have seen two replies to that thread from you: one that incorporates it
into your work, and one that links to a verison of my patch in your
patchset. I haven't seen a concern raised about the use of MMF_UNSTABLE,
but perhaps it's somewhere in the 10,000 other emails about the oom
killer.
