My specific area of expertise in Linux kernel is security/tomoyo/ directory. What I could contribute with other areas is to pay attention to potential possibilities. But I'm such outsider about other areas that I can't differentiate the page allocator proper from the OOM killer layer. Excuse me for focusing on the wrong issue, but I will likely unconsciously make the same mistake again. Please ignore or point out when I made mistakes. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
