[patch 2/2] mm, oom: avoid reaping only for mm's with blockable invalidate callbacks

From: David Rientjes
Date: Mon Dec 11 2017 - 17:12:27 EST


This uses the new annotation to determine if an mm has mmu notifiers with
blockable invalidate range callbacks to avoid oom reaping. Otherwise, the
callbacks are used around unmap_page_range().
