David Rientjes edd45544c6 oom: avoid deferring oom killer if exiting task is being traced ... The oom killer naturally defers killing anything if it finds an eligible task that is already exiting and has yet to detach its ->mm. This avoids unnecessarily killing tasks when one is already in the exit path and may free enough memory that the oom killer is no longer needed. This is detected by PF_EXITING since threads that have already detached its ->mm are no longer considered at all. The problem with always deferring when a thread is PF_EXITING, however, is that it may never actually exit when being traced, specifically if another task is tracing it with PTRACE_O_TRACEEXIT. The oom killer does not want to defer in this case since there is no guarantee that thread will ever exit without intervention. This patch will now only defer the oom killer when a thread is PF_EXITING and no ptracer has stopped its progress in the exit path. It also ensures that a child is sacrificed for the chosen parent only if it has a different ->mm as the comment implies: this ensures that the thread group leader is always targeted appropriately.
