oom_kill_task() kills the whole thread group, but only one task gets
TIF_MEMDIE. This can't be right, every test_thread_flag(TIF_MEMDIE)
check is per-thread.
I think it should be replaced by MMF_, but as a first step let's change
oom_kill_task() to mark every sub-thread as TIF_MEMDIE. And change the
"Kill all processes sharing p->mm" code the same way.
This also fixes another problem. sysctl_oom_kill_allocating_task case
does oom_kill_process(current). If current is not the main thread, then
select_bad_process() won't see the TIF_MEMDIE task.
Note:
- oom_kill_task()->for_each_process() is wrong. It can't detect
all processes sharing p->mm. The fix is simple
- This patch doesn't change other callers of set_*(TIF_MEMDIE).
This needs a separate discussion, but oom_kill_process() is
simply wrong.
