[PATCH v2] mm,oom: exclude oom_task_origin processes if they are OOM-unkillable.

From: Tetsuo Handa
Date: Wed Feb 17 2016 - 09:31:30 EST


oom_scan_process_thread() returns OOM_SCAN_SELECT when there is a
thread which returns oom_task_origin() == true. But it is possible
that such thread is marked as OOM-unkillable. In that case, the OOM
killer must not select such process.

Since it is meaningless to return OOM_SCAN_OK for OOM-unkillable
process because subsequent oom_badness() call will return 0, this
patch changes oom_scan_process_thread to return OOM_SCAN_CONTINUE
if that process is marked as OOM-unkillable (regardless of
oom_task_origin()).
