2.6.38-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------ From: Andrey Vagin <[email protected]> commit 30e2b41f20b6238f51e7cffb879c7a0f0073f5fe upstream. We shouldn't defer oom killing if a thread has already detached its ->mm and still has TIF_MEMDIE set. Memory needs to be freed, so find kill other threads that pin the same ->mm or find another task to kill.
