Unlikely... but we will see.

perhaps this patch makes more sense for stable.

But, to clarify just in case, it is not needed after this series.

Yes, but it doesn't fix all problems even in mm/oom_kill.c, and
we need to fix while_each_thread() anyway.

So you are saying that this was introduced by this series?

Could you retest with the recent kernel?

This series does not expand the rcu-locked sections except: it adds
rcu_read_lock() into has_intersects_mems_allowed() but this is the
obvious bugfix.

So far I _think_ that this series should not be blamed for that, but
I'll try to recheck.

Oleg.
