I did not think this would solve all the OOM problems. I do think it will improve the situation in some instances. The cost of suppling the additional information is small - we do not want OOM to trigger unless we really are OOM. This patch can prevent the vm from reporting some false OOMs...
Hope your audit discloses other problems.
