Hello, Is it possible that OOM isn't handled very well if say, my entire file system structure is on a USB storage device? I'm not an expert on this particular matter but I'm pretty sure that I noticed GFP_KERNEL allocation being done on the write-out path in the usb-storage kernel thread, leading to a deadlock during OOM.
