From 0a3f1e0beacf6cc8ae5f846b0641c1df476e83d6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shakeel Butt Date: Mon, 24 Jan 2022 21:17:36 -0800 Subject: mm: io_uring: allow oom-killer from io_uring_setup On an overcommitted system which is running multiple workloads of varying priorities, it is preferred to trigger an oom-killer to kill a low priority workload than to let the high priority workload receiving ENOMEMs. On our memory overcommitted systems, we are seeing a lot of ENOMEMs instead of oom-kills because io_uring_setup callchain is using __GFP_NORETRY gfp flag which avoids the oom-killer. Let's remove it and allow the oom-killer to kill a lower priority job.
