Subject: [6/13] use __GFP_NOKILL in select_bits_alloc()
Date: Wed, 25 Sep 2002 22:42:49 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20020926054249.GM22942@holomorphy.com> (raw)
select_bits_alloc() is done in select.c, triggering the OOM killer.
The system calls doing so are failable, and so use __GFP_NOKILL.
