[PATCH 2/2] mm: replace TIF_MEMDIE checks by tsk_is_oom_victim

From: Michal Hocko
Date: Thu Aug 10 2017 - 03:50:51 EST


From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx>

TIF_MEMDIE is set only to the tasks whick were either directly selected
by the OOM killer or passed through mark_oom_victim from the allocator
path. tsk_is_oom_victim is more generic and allows to identify all tasks
(threads) which share the mm with the oom victim.

Please note that the freezer still needs to check TIF_MEMDIE because
we cannot thaw tasks which do not participage in oom_victims counting
otherwise a !TIF_MEMDIE task could interfere after oom_disbale returns.

Changes since v1
- fix implicit declaration of function 'tsk_is_oom_victim' reported by
0day
