But we were talking about system oom handling.  Yes, the patch didn't
exist back then but the fundamental premises stay unchanged.  There's
no point in restarting the whole thread.  You can refer to this
patchset from that thread.  It's a logical thing to do.  We have all
the context there.  I don't really understand why you're resisting it.
It doesn't change the basis of the discussion.  The issues brought up
before should still be addressed and it only makes sense to retain the
context.

If you have more to add, including the existence of this
implementation, let's please talk in the original thread.  It was long
thread with a lot of points raised.  Let's please not replay that
whole thread here unnecessarily.

Thanks.
