From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx>
Currently oom_kill_process skips both the oom reaper and SIG_KILL if a
process sharing the same mm is unkillable via OOM_ADJUST_MIN. After "mm,
oom_adj: make sure processes sharing mm have same view of oom_score_adj"
all such processes are sharing the same value so we shouldn't see such a
task at all (oom_badness would rule them out).
Moreover after "mm, oom: skip over vforked tasks" we even cannot
encounter vfork task so we can allow both SIG_KILL and oom reaper. A
potential race is highly unlikely but possible. It would happen if
__set_oom_adj raced with select_bad_process and then it is OK to
consider the old value or with fork when it should be acceptable as
well.
Let's add a little note to the log so that people would tell us that
this really happens in the real life and it matters.
