In case of memory deficit and low percpu memory pages, pcpu_balance_workfn() takes pcpu_alloc_mutex for a long time (as it makes memory allocations itself and waits for memory reclaim). If tasks doing pcpu_alloc() are choosen by OOM killer, they can't exit, because they are waiting for the mutex. The patch makes pcpu_alloc() to care about killing signal and use mutex_lock_killable(), when it's allowed by GFP flags. This guarantees, a task does not miss SIGKILL from OOM killer.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
