[patch 1/6] arch: mm: remove obsolete init OOM protection

From: Johannes Weiner
Date: Thu Jul 25 2013 - 18:27:34 EST


Back before smart OOM killing, when faulting tasks where killed
directly on allocation failures, the arch-specific fault handlers
needed special protection for the init process.

Now that all fault handlers call into the generic OOM killer (609838c
"mm: invoke oom-killer from remaining unconverted page fault
handlers"), which already provides init protection, the arch-specific
leftovers can be removed.
