The main reason for that was the simplicity as other solutions would require some way of queuing. The current approach is racy and that was deemed sufficient as the oom_reaper is considered a best effort approach to help with oom handling when the OOM victim cannot terminate in a reasonable time. The race could lead to missing an oom victim which can get stuck out_of_memory wake_oom_reaper cmpxchg // OK oom_reaper oom_reap_task __oom_reap_task oom_victim terminates atomic_inc_not_zero // fail out_of_memory wake_oom_reaper cmpxchg // fails task_to_reap = NULL This race requires 2 OOM invocations in a short time period which is not very likely but certainly not impossible. E.g. the original victim might have not released a lot of memory for some reason. The situation would improve considerably if wake_oom_reaper used a more robust queuing. This is what this patch implements. This means adding oom_reaper_list list_head into task_struct (eat a hole before embeded thread_struct for that purpose) and a oom_reaper_lock spinlock for queuing synchronization. wake_oom_reaper will then add the task on the queue and oom_reaper will dequeue it.
