From 3ff566963ce804809af9e32331b287eedeeff501 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Rientjes Date: Tue, 16 Oct 2007 23:25:58 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] oom: do not take callback_mutex Since no task descriptor's 'cpuset' field is dereferenced in the execution of the OOM killer anymore, it is no longer necessary to take callback_mutex.
