[PATCH 3.10 67/70] mm: memcg: enable memcg OOM killer only for user faults

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Nov 19 2014 - 16:21:11 EST


3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Johannes Weiner <hannes@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 519e52473ebe9db5cdef44670d5a97f1fd53d721 upstream.

System calls and kernel faults (uaccess, gup) can handle an out of memory
situation gracefully and just return -ENOMEM.

Enable the memcg OOM killer only for user faults, where it's really the
only option available.
