From f2a2a7108aa0039ba7a5fe7a0d2ecef2219a7584 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nick Piggin Date: Wed, 6 Dec 2006 20:31:52 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] oom: less memdie Don't cause all threads in all other thread groups to gain TIF_MEMDIE otherwise we'll get a thundering herd eating our memory reserve. This may not be the optimal scheme, but it fits our policy of allowing just one TIF_MEMDIE in the system at once.
