Thanks for testing!  The patch that I proposed for you was a little more 
conservative in terms of providing a bonus to root processes that aren't 
using a certain threshold of memory.  My latest proposal was to give root 
processes only a 1% bonus for every 10% of memory they consume, so it 
would be impossible for them to have an oom score of 1 as reported in your 
logs.

I believe that KOSAKI-san is refreshing his series of patches, so let's 
look at how your workload behaves on the next iteration.  Thanks CAI!
