Not yet. But since Michal considers this cleanup as "a nice shortcut"
( https://marc.info/?i=20180607112836.GN32433@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ), I assume that
I will get an ACK regarding this cleanup.

It simplifies tricky out_of_memory() return value decision, and
it also fixes a bug in your series which syzbot is pointing out.

> Dropping patches for making a cleanup (if it's a cleanup) sounds a bit strange.

What I need is a git tree which I can use as a baseline for making this cleanup.
linux.git is not suitable because it does not include Michal's fix, but
linux-next.git is not suitable because Michal's fix is overwritten by your series.
I want a git tree which includes Michal's fix and does not include your series.

Then, please drop current cgroup-aware OOM killer implementation from linux-next.git .
I want to see how next -rc1 would look like (for testing purpose) and want to use
linux-next.git as a baseline (for making this cleanup).
