[PATCH] oom: cpuset hint

Browse source

cpuset_excl_nodes_overlap does not always indicate that killing a task will
not free any memory we for us.  For example, we may be asking for an
allocation from _anywhere_ in the machine, or the task in question may be
pinning memory that is outside its cpuset.  Fix this by just causing
cpuset_excl_nodes_overlap to reduce the badness rather than disallow it.
