Subject: oom: do not take callback_mutex
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3ff566963ce804809af9e32331b287eedeeff501;p=GitHub%2Fmt8127%2Fandroid_kernel_alcatel_ttab.git

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.

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: restore cpuset_lock for other patches]
