Hi Peter,
Iirc you've been involved at least somewhat in discussing this. -mm folks are a bit undecided whether these new non_block semantics are a good idea. Michal Hocko still is in support, but Andrew Morton and Jason Gunthorpe are less enthusiastic. Jason said he's ok with merging the hmm side of this if scheduler folks ack. If not, then I'll respin with the preempt_disable/enable instead like in v1.
I became mollified once Michel explained the rationale. I think it's OK. It's very specific to the oom reaper and hopefully won't be used more widely(?).
