If the current process is being killed (it was interrupted with SIGKILL or equivalent), it will not make any progress in page allocation and we can abort performing the shrinking on its behalf. So we can use mutex_lock_killable() instead (although this path should only be reachable from kswapd currently). Tvrtko pointed out that it should also be reachable from debugfs, which he would prefer retain its interruptiblity. As a compromise, killable is a step in the right direction!

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
