[patch] cpusets: do not allow TIF_MEMDIE tasks to allocate globally

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Reverts git commit c596d9f320aaf30d28c1d793ff3a976dee1db8f5.

OOM-killed tasks, marked as TIF_MEMDIE, should not be able to access 
memory outside its cpuset because it could potentially cause other 
exclusive cpusets to OOM themselves.
