Which depends on yours only to revert your part. I plan to repost it but that still doesn't mean it will get merged because Johannes still has some argumnets against. I would like to start the discussion again because now we are so deep in circles that it is hard to come up with a reasonable outcome. It is still hard to e.g. agree on an actual fix for a real problem https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/12/12/129.This is concerning because it's merged in -mm without being tested by Eric and is marked for stable while violating the stable kernel rules criteria.
Are you questioning the patch fixes the described issue? Please note that the exit_robust_list and PF_EXITING as a culprit has been identified by Eric. Of course I would prefer if it was tested by anybody who can reproduce it. -- Michal Hocko SUSE Labs
