    oom: consider multi-threaded tasks in task_will_free_mem · 98748bd7
    Michal Hocko 提交于
    task_will_free_mem is a misnomer for a more complex PF_EXITING test for
    early break out from the oom killer because it is believed that such a
    task would release its memory shortly and so we do not have to select an
    oom victim and perform a disruptive action.
    
    Currently we make sure that the given task is not participating in the
    core dumping because it might get blocked for a long time - see commit
    d003f371 ("oom: don't assume that a coredumping thread will exit
    soon").
    
    The check can still do better though.  We shouldn't consider the task
    unless the whole thread group is going down.  This is rather unlikely
    but not impossible.  A single exiting thread would surely leave all the
    address space behind.  If we are really unlucky it might get stuck on
    the exit path and keep its TIF_MEMDIE and so block the oom killer.
