Don't waste your time with searching archives ;) Take the attached ones.
Explaination:
01. export 'proc_get_inode' symbol b/c it's unresolved in
drivers/net/wan/comx.o
Patch by: Andrea Arcangeli
02. export 'panic_notifier_list, panic_timeout' b/c it's unresolved in
ipmi_msghandler.o and ipmi_watchdog.o
Patch by: me
03. If a process cannot exit because it's stuck in eg. a driver, it
doesn't make sense to have the OOM killer kill it repeatedly;
that could lead to a hung system.
Instead, kill another process if the first process we tried to
kill hasn't made any move to exit within 5 seconds. This way
we have a much better chance of recovering the system.
Patch by: Rik van Riel
I can ack that this fixes the silly behaviour of the oom killer if the
patch is _not_ applied. _With_ the patch, it works great.
