From 3ef22dfff2390e75b379f9715388a852aa56e0d5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Hocko Date: Thu, 19 May 2016 17:13:12 -0700 Subject: oom, oom_reaper: try to reap tasks which skip regular OOM killer path If either the current task is already killed or PF_EXITING or a selected task is PF_EXITING then the oom killer is suppressed and so is the oom reaper. This patch adds try_oom_reaper which checks the given task and queues it for the oom reaper if that is safe to be done meaning that the task doesn't share the mm with an alive process. This might help to release the memory pressure while the task tries to exit. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix nommu build] Signed-off-by: Michal Hocko Cc: Raushaniya Maksudova Cc: Michael S.
