Subject: [PATCH 3/3 for 2.6.38] oom: oom_kill_process: fix the child_points logic
Date: Mon, 14 Mar 2011 20:05:30 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110314190530.GD21845@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20110314190419.GA21845@redhat.com>

oom_kill_process() starts with victim_points == 0. This means that
(most likely) any child has more points and can be killed erroneously.

Also, "children has a different mm" doesn't match the reality, we
should check child->mm != t->mm. This check is not exactly correct
if t->mm == NULL but this doesn't really matter, oom_kill_task()
will kill them anyway.

Note: "Kill all processes sharing p->mm" in oom_kill_task() is wrong
too.
