[PATCH] mm, oom: OOM killer use rss size without shmem

From: Junil Lee
Date: Fri Feb 22 2019 - 00:07:41 EST


The oom killer use get_mm_rss() function to estimate how free memory
will be reclaimed when the oom killer select victim task.

However, the returned rss size by get_mm_rss() function was changed from
"mm, shmem: add internal shmem resident memory accounting" commit.
This commit makes the get_mm_rss() return size including SHMEM pages.

The oom killer can't get free memory from SHMEM pages directly after
kill victim process, it leads to mis-calculate victim points.

Therefore, make new API as get_mm_rss_wo_shmem() which returns the rss
value excluding SHMEM_PAGES.
