Subject: [patch 3/9] cpuset: oom panic fix
Date: Fri, 28 Jul 2006 09:21:11 +0200 (CEST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060515210556.30275.63352.sendpatchset@linux.site> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20060515210529.30275.74992.sendpatchset@linux.site>

cpuset_excl_nodes_overlap always returns 0 if current is exiting. This caused
customer's systems to panic in the OOM killer when processes were having
trouble getting memory for the final put_user in mm_release. Even though there
were lots of processes to kill.

Change to returning 0 in this case. This achieves parity with !CONFIG_CPUSETS
case, and was observed to fix the problem.
