[PATCH v2] mm: oom_kill: add trace logs in process_mrelease() system call

From: Pratyush Brahma
Date: Tue Aug 16 2022 - 04:24:34 EST


From: Charan Teja Kalla <quic_charante@xxxxxxxxxxx>

The process_mrelease() system call[1] is used to release the memory of
a dying process from the context of the caller, which is similar to and
uses the functions of the oom reaper logic. There exists trace logs for
a process when reaped by the oom reaper. Just extend the same to when
done by the process_mrelease() system call.

Changes in v2:
- Added trace_skip_task_reaping() to cover more cases where we skip
reaping.
- Print debug information in pr_debug instead of pr_info
- The original author email domain has changed. Update the new email
address.
