This patch is correct from the point of view of avoiding TIF_MEMDIE race. But if I recall correctly, the reason we did not do this is to avoid depleting memory reserves. And we still grant full access to memory reserves for CONFIG_MMU=n case. Shouldn't the changelog mention CONFIG_MMU=n case? > } > rcu_read_unlock(); > >

You keep bringing it up without actually trying to understand that nommu is so special that reserves for those architectures are of very limited use. I do not really see much point mentioning nommu in every oom patch. Or do you know of a nommu oom killer bug out there? I would be more than curious. Seriously.
