Seems each time we're told about a bug or a regression, David either fixes the bug or points out why it wasn't a bug or why it wasn't a regression or how it was a deliberate behaviour change for the better. I just haven't seen any solid reason to be concerned about the state of the current oom-killer, sorry. I'm concerned that you're concerned! A lot. When someone such as yourself is unhappy with part of MM then I sit up and pay attention. But after all this time I simply don't understand the technical issues which you're seeing here. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
