[PATCH] oom: do not kill tasks with oom_score_adj OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN

From: Michal Hocko
Date: Fri Nov 04 2011 - 07:59:44 EST


c9f01245 (oom: remove oom_disable_count) has removed oom_disable_count
counter which has been used for early break out from oom_badness so we
could never select a task with oom_score_adj set to OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN
(oom disabled).

Now that the counter is gone we are always going through heuristics
calculation and we always return a non zero positive value. This
means that we can end up killing a task with OOM disabled because it is
indistinguishable from regular tasks with 1% resp. CAP_SYS_ADMIN tasks
with 3% usage of memory or tasks with oom_score_adj set but OOM enabled.

Let's break out early if the task should have OOM disabled.
