[PATCH v1 0/1] mm: Fix OOM killer and proc stats inaccuracy on large many-core systems

Hi Andrew,

This patch modifies the OOM killer and all proc RSS stats to use the
precise for-each-possible-cpu sum to fix the inaccuracy issues. This
approach was suggested by Michal Hocko as a straightforward fix for the
inaccuracy issue by using more precise (but slower) RSS stats sum.

With this, the hierarchical per-cpu counters become a simple
optimization rather than a bug fix. I will post a new version
of the HPCC soon which will be based on this patch.

Feedback is welcome!

Thanks,

Mathieu
