From f660daac474c6f7c2d710100e29b3276a6f4db0a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Rientjes Date: Mon, 31 Oct 2011 17:07:07 -0700 Subject: oom: thaw threads if oom killed thread is frozen before deferring If a thread has been oom killed and is frozen, thaw it before returning to the page allocator. Otherwise, it can stay frozen indefinitely and no memory will be freed.
