memcg, oom: remove explicit wakeup in mem_cgroup_oom_synchronize()
Before commit 29ef680a ("memcg, oom: move out_of_memory back to the charge path"), all memcg oom killers were delayed to page fault path. And the explicit wakeup is used in this case: thread A: ... if (locked) { // complete oom-kill, hold the lock mem_cgroup_oom_unlock(memcg); ... } ... thread B: ... if (locked && !memcg->oom_kill_disable) { ... } else { schedule(); // can't acquire the lock ... } ... The reason is that thread A kicks off the OOM-killer, which leads to wakeups from the uncharges of the exiting task. But thread B is not guaranteed to see them if it enters the OOM path after the OOM kills but before thread A releases the lock. Now only oom_kill_disable case is handled from the #PF path. In that case it is userspace to trigger the wake up not the #PF path itself. All potential paths to free some charges are responsible to call memcg_oom_recover() , so the explicit wakeup is not needed in the mem_cgroup_oom_synchronize() path which doesn't release any memory itself.
