Why is this removed?
I've laid out my perspective for doing userspace oom handling and this is a vital part for system oom handling. I know that we are currently discussing alternative proposals but my proposal is by far the most complete and allows the most powerful policies to be implemented in userspace. I'd prefer if we would keep the patch unless an actual alternative is proposed and agreed upon, we can still discuss alternatives while this in -mm and this patch in no way precludes other mechanisms from being implemented.
So why remove this?
