[patch -mm] oom: exclude tasks with badness score of 0 from beingselected

From: David Rientjes
Date: Fri Apr 02 2010 - 15:54:25 EST


An oom_badness() score of 0 means "never kill" according to
Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt, so explicitly exclude it from being
selected for kill. These tasks have either detached their p->mm or are
set to OOM_DISABLE.
