[PATCH 1/5] oom: select_bad_process: check PF_KTHREAD instead of !mm to skip kthreads

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: oom: select_bad_process: check PF_KTHREAD instead of !mm to skip kthreads

select_bad_process() thinks a kernel thread can't have ->mm != NULL, this
is not true due to use_mm().

Change the code to check PF_KTHREAD.
