[PATCH] oom-kill: mm locking fix
Dave Peterson <dsp@llnl.gov> points out that badness() is playing with mm_structs without taking a reference on them. mmput() can sleep, so taking a reference here (inside tasklist_lock) is hard. Fix it up via task_lock() instead. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
