    mm: oom_kill: don't ignore oom score on exiting tasks · 6a618957
    Johannes Weiner authored
    When the OOM killer scans tasks and encounters a PF_EXITING one, it
    force-selects that task regardless of the score.  The problem is that if
    that task got stuck waiting for some state the allocation site is
    holding, the OOM reaper can not move on to the next best victim.
    
    Frankly, I don't even know why we check for exiting tasks in the OOM
    killer.  We've tried direct reclaim at least 15 times by the time we
    decide the system is OOM, there was plenty of time to exit and free
    memory; and a task might exit voluntarily right after we issue a kill.
    This is testing pure noise.  Remove it.
